“Why Men and Women Cheat?”

As I began my research for this episode, I stumbled upon some interesting statistics. My research confirmed for me that men cheat at a higher rate than women. However, they both cheat for different reasons. In addition, I was also astonished to find out that infidelity is not the number one cause for a divorce. According to divorce.com, that the majority of couples get divorced due to communication and financial issues rather than issues associated with infidelity. Who would have thought. Nevertheless, infidelity continues to cause a great deal of pain to both men and women. I wanted to hear the ladies views on why infidelity happens, how to address and get past it if and when it occurs in your relationship.

Mental Health Crisis Facing Women

Today my ladies and I opened up about the impact the past year and pandemic have had our own mental health. I know we are not alone. The question is, "How do we move forward and become a healthier version of ourselves? We all need to design a path to improving and maintaining healthy, happy minds. As our expert Dawn Townsend calls it, “We need to take care of our mental wellness”. This is such an important issue, I decided to invite Mrs Dawn Townsend, a licensed therapist based in the United States. This is not an easy topic, so we had to call in the expert in order to have an informed and responsible discussion.

"I Can't Breathe- Part 3" - Justice Is Served!

Today, justice was served. And while this verdict will not bring back George Floyd or any other person of color who was wrongfully killed by the police, it certainly sent a message that, "enough is enough." I am joined by Mrs. Maua Mosha Alleyne http://www.instagram/com/maafristyles and Dr Sydelle Ross http://www.instagram.com/sydellerossmd The best way I can describe our collective feeling is perhaps by saying, we were numb with pain. Three black female professionals from different parts of the world. One from Africa and the other two from the Caribbean. Our origins are different, yet our identities and pains are the same on American soil. We got together for this broadcast in solidarity, to celebrate a victory that addresses our collective pain, validates the present and points us all in the right direction for the future.
