Friends and Kin in this episode I was blessed enough to be in conversation with a Black unicorn, Jonathan McCrory of the National Black Theatre! His story is one of overcoming, perseverance and understanding WHO you are. What an amazing way to close out Black History Month!
In this two part conversation we learn all about my guest.We learn where he comes from, the obstacles and blessings that he navigated during his journey and what he is up to currently.It was a spiritually uplifting conversation that I am truly excited to share with you.Here’s a little bit about Jonathan:

His story, the work he is doing as well as the work of the National Black Theatre should be something that we know about & THAT, friends & kin is exactly why I am sharing his story with you. Even though, Black History Month is over on the calendar - we should live a life where we strive to learn more and more about our history and the heroes of our communities today.

Friends and Kin this may possibly be my most vulnerable episode to date. Or maybe transparent. This episode is just in time for Mother’s Day - intentionally. It’s all about MOTHER LOSS & SELF-MOTHERING. When I tell you that I was really locked in - sis was LOCKED IN! I don’t wanna give too much about this episode away, but as the main discussion ended, I gave some tips on how to work on self-mothering yourself - especially for those who are dealing with ambiguous mother loss… I EXPLAIN ALL OF IT IN THE EPISODE!!!
GO LISTEN!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO EVERYONE WHO NURTURES OTHER HUMANS IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER! 🩷🩵

No. 92 - A Conversation with Death Doula, Alua Arthur about Grief, Death & The Fullness of Life. PART TWO.
Hey Friends & Kin!

Soooooooooo, this episode is a bit of a doozy. The topic is heavy, but it is so necessary.I had the pleasure of being in conversation with Alua Arthur, a beautiful black woman who is a Death Doula. The title alone, “DEATH DOULA”. That is a heavy title. I had a delightful conversation with Alua about her new book, “briefly perfectly human” which can be purchased here. The book is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING… It caused me to look at my life and really begin to think about how I value the fullness of my life. Do yourself the favor of 1. LISTENING TO PART ONE OF THIS CONVERSATION. 2. LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE (PART TWO).3. PURCHASING HER BOOK!!!
The conversation was one that brought about an actual physical response for me in REAL TIME. The concept of grief, and in the way we began to discuss it on the show did something to my mind and my spirit.Also, I’m pretty sure my Grandmother made a guest appearance while we were talking…
Take some time and listen to part one of this conversation - No. 91 & then tune into this episode, which is part two! Run don’t walk to wherever you get your podcasts!

Friends and Kin this episode is part two of a conversation all about SELF-DECEPTION & SELF-AWARENESS. My guest today is a friend of the show and an actual good friend of mine, Ms. Ebony Vaughan.

Listen HERE to check that episode out.
In this episode we uncover the necessary tools for self-awareness as well as how you miss out on living your in the fullness of life by smothering yourself with the cloak of self-deception.In this state you tend to miss the beautiful bounty that God has for you. We really went in on the ways that a lack of authenticity can stop you from living a FULL LIFE.
