According to RP

This week we continue to raise awareness for the Haitian migrants living within our city limits. We have dedicated several episodes to the cause because the mainstream media has been silent on this issue, and so, as a Haitian- American, it is my duty to use my platform to raise awareness on issues that affect my people. 

October is coming close, but we have one more cause to highlight. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This week RP talks to the amazing Neisha Himes, a domestic violence survivor, consultant, advocate, spoken word artist, and the founder of G.R.O.W. Foundation, Inc, an organization promoting change through survivor advocacy, domestic violence education, and community empowerment. 

Tune in as Neisha shares her story, from being a victim of domestic violence to founding a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting change through survivor advocacy.

September is Self-Care and Self-Improvement Month. We often discuss the importance of self-care, but do we really understand the concept? Some of us are doing self-care all wrong, and it shows.
