This is my introduction to the new podcast 'YOU Matter, Your Dreams Matter!' My new mission focuses on supporting young women of color -- especially the quiet ones -- to find your voice, and pursue your dreams.

What are your dreams? How can you create more joy in your daily life? What if you knew you deep down, every second of every day that you matter. Your dreams matter. 

I meander through a few different topics in this episode. Thank you for bearing with me and my awkward pauses as I get back into the groove that is podcasting! 

Oh and the female comic I forgot the name of -- is Iliza Shlesinger.

I also share a personal story about my own background with this topic and why this topic means so much to me. 

*Trigger warning: I do reference something that happened earlier this year that is potentially triggering around 6:00.
