"My Body, New Choices"

SOUL Vibrant is Officially Back since I took time to focus on my health. It's bizarre how quickly "My Body, My Choice", "A woman's right to choose", and other various pro-choice attitudes change when the choices go against societal "comforts". Or when the individual reclaiming their right of choice is deemed unworthy, undesirable, or unfit to make such noise. 47 % of physicians underestimate Black patients' pain levels. Black Women face a 3x higher mortality rate compared to other races, and 40% of providers have negative attitudes about patients with higher weight [Fat] bodies. I sit at the intersection of all 3 identities. I'm a statistic, Tune in, as I vulnerably reveal my journey navigating the healthcare system and the Choices I had to make to reclaim my Voice, Body, and Life.

MACK MILLER : Hoodoo Heritage Week 4

Until Now. With his Permission I reintroduce you to my Ancestral Uncle Mack Miller. The entrepreneur and businessman valued education, community, and self-actualization.

MAMA "EYE" : Hoodoo Heritage Week 3

"Where there is a woman , there is magic - Ntozake Shange" For week 3 of Hoodoo Heritage Month, (With her permission) let me introduce you to Mama "EYE". Originally from New Orleans, Mama "Eye" was sold to a plantation in Georgia, where she spent her entire life rebelling and fighting for Black liberation. Coming from a strong line of voodoo women, she used her gifts for healing, guidance, and empowerment. Her essence illustrated how often people confuse hoodoo for voodoo or vice versa. Using the confusion to her advantage, check out how Mama "Eye" taught me to see hoodoo as an alchemy to Never downplay my gifts or my importance.

Stagione 3

Speak LOVE To Me

Love is one of the most desired, misunderstood, and healing experiences that life has to offer. Noticing, throughout my healing journey, everything pulled me back to love. I developed a longing to live a love life and began questioning my own perceptions of it. Inspiring today's episode, I dive further into the conversation of decolonizing our thoughts of love. Influenced by the work of bell hooks, I explore the concepts of unconditional love, self-love, and socialized influences on love. Vulnerably sharing my own experiences, I'm curious about what true, authentic, real love is. Because don't you deserve a love story?
