Habari Gani SOUL Vibrant Fam!

It's The Last Show of the Year, and it's so fitting that it lands on today's Kwanzaa's principal. Kujichagualia translates to self-determination, highlighting the importance of knowing ourselves fully. 2025 has challenged us to be active players in our lives and the world around us. Are you clear or indecisive, seeking Justice or straddling the fence, unhappy and unsettled, or secure and healing? This year forced us to reckon with the truth. Whether we're ready for it or not. Using my own experience, let's reflect together as we prepare to enter the new year.

Happy Holidays SOUL Vibrant Fam! The holiday season can represent so many things for each of us. But in recent years, the excitement and cheer seem to have dwindled. Between grief, economic uncertainty, and general stress, we're all feeling the pressure. HOWEVER!! I refuse to let anything outside of us continue to siphon our hope and joy. We have the power to create the holiday spirit and more for ourselves. Tune into today's episode as I spell out how to reclaim it.

After every Doctor's visit, you have a follow up...

Still reeling from the amazing response to My Body, New Choices, tune in for more information, historical context, and personal experience in honoring your health. I continue to share my health care experience, providing more insight and tips to empower you. Everyone deserves quality healthcare and wellness that's not driven by bias, greed, or oppression. We can start to combat this by connecting through our stories and sharing the knowledge we gain.

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.

"GOD is good all the time and ALL the time , GOD is good"

It is the final week of Hoodoo Heritage Month—what better way to close out the month than by highlighting my most recently connected ancestor? In Season 1, I uncovered my ancestry and the history of Mack Miller Park. Although I share my journey of discovery, I never talked about the powerful spiritual experience of creating the episode. Until Now. With his Permission I reintroduce you to my Ancestral Uncle Mack Miller. The entrepreneur and businessman valued education, community, and self-actualization. Being a devoted Christian, Mack Miller was not a hoodoo. However, He consistently encouraged the use of my gifts, seeing them As a blessing from GOD to me. Tune in as I give you a spiritual behind-the-scenes look at Ode to Mack Miller Park.

"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 traded to a plantation in Georgia, where she spent her entire life rebelling and fighting for black people against the system of slavery. 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. Rest in power to the powerful Griots : Stephanie "Tanqueray" Johnson, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and D'Angelo
