Hey, #shiftshapers! It's time to tune in to Episode 38: The Power of Trust.

What comes to your mind when you think of the word 'trust'?⁣
⁣
Are you trustworthy? Do you place your trust in people or things? If so, how has it benefitted you or harmed you? If not, why not?⁣
⁣
What causes you to be distrustful or to lose trust?⁣
⁣
What do you stand to gain by learning to trust? What might you lose?⁣

In this solo episode, Thea Monyeé takes us on a exploration of what it means to trust and how cultivating assured reliance doesn't weaken us, but can allow us to grow in our power. ⁣

Hey, #shiftshapers! Join us this week for Episode 36: The Power to Heal Spiritual Wounds with Mayda Del Valle!⁣

⁣

Poet and performer @maydadelvalle has been described by the Chicago Sun Times as having "a way with words. Sometimes they seem to flutter and roll off her lips. Other times they burst forth like a comet streaking across a nighttime sky."

A proud native of Chicago's South Side, Mayda got her start at New York City's legendary Nuyorican Poet's Cafe, where she was the 2001 Grand Slam Champion and went on to win the 2001 National Poetry Slam Individual title, becoming the youngest and first Latina poet to do so. She went on to appear on 6 episodes of Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam on HBO and was a contributing writer and original cast member of the Tony Award-winning Def Poetry Jam on Broadway.

She has been featured in Latina Magazine, The Source, The New York Times and was named by Smithsonian Magazine as one of America's Young Innovators in the Arts and Sciences. Oprah's "O" Magazine selected her as one of 20 women for their first-ever "O Power List," a group of visionary women making a mark in business, politics, and the arts. In May of 2009, she was invited to perform at the White House for President Obama and the First Lady.

Since 2011 Mayda has been a teaching artist with the poetry-based non-profit youth organization Street Poets, facilitating workshops around the LA area in highschools and probation camps.  She is also a dancer and vocalist with the Los Angeles-based Afro-Puerto Rican bomba group Atabey.
