THE MELANIN PEARLS PODCAST
Temporada 1
por Yvette Schmitter and Ericka Shoulars
For the final episode of 2020 of the Melanin Pearls Podcast, Yvette and Ericka recap how 2020 changed their lives – personally, professionally and spiritually. “One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.” - Osho
In episode five of the Melanin Pearls Podcast, Yvette and Ericka discuss the challenges of now “living at work” and balancing it all with remote learning with their special guest, New York City School Principal, Renee Belton. “The human capacity for burden is like bamboo – far more flexible than you’d ever believe at first glance.”– Jodi Picoult”
In episode four of the Melanin Pearls Podcast, Yvette and Ericka discuss how to stay healthy and discuss ways to keep from adding additional pounds during the holidays, with their special guest, lifelong coach and fitness professional Marcell Harrison. “The greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you. – Joyce Meyer”
In episode three of the Melanin Pearls Podcast, Yvette and Ericka discuss the “Aftermath” of the 2020 Presidential election, their thoughts and what we as a community and country need to focus on next to bring about the change we all want to see. “I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it” – Maya Angelou
In episode two of the Melanin Pearls Podcast, Yvette and Ericka welcome Patricia D. Williamson and Aaron Greene to the show to talk about the importance of voting and how voting at every level and in every election is the only way we can effectuate the legislative change required to move the needle. In this moment it’s just not possible to reimagine the system, but absolutely necessary to do so and voting is a necessary step in the direction of change. Every election is determined by the people who show up. “You’ve got to vote, vote, vote, vote. That’s it; that’s the way we move forward.” – Michelle Obama
