In this season when humanity has and continues to deal with so much, how do you ensure that you remain of sound mind?  

My guest today is a Mind Doctor of sorts. He is trained in NLP, is a Life Coach and Therapist, and a brilliant mind. He is obsessed over matters of the mind and unlocking the secrets therein to help us live healthier, more mindful lives. 

Over and above that, he is one of the most kind hearted people I have had the pleasure to meet. 

A friend who has and continues to push me to do more and be more.  

Welcome Bankole Williams to BeverlySpeaks.  

Let's talk Matters of the Mind with Mr. Bankole Williams.

Shariffa is one of the sweetest, most sensitive and empathetic souls I have had the pleasure of interviewing. 

Come sit with us as we talk parenting, entrepreneurship, life, growth, grief, healing and wholeness. 

She's a mum, singer/songwriter, gospel artist, dental hygienist and entrepreneur.   

Over the last 20 years there has been a small selection of gospel artists who’ve broken the mold and crossed over to the mainstream by infusing pop, R&B, and hip hop into their songs without compromising on content. 

Shariffa Nyan is adding her name to that list with projects like EVERY PART OF ME (2016) – her second “Neo-Gospel” EP containing elements of R&B, funk, and hip hop with productions by Don Christion and Lawrence “Illoquint” Wilder as well as mix tape, SOUL FOOD (2017)- a six track banger that bridged the gap between the secular and church worlds. 2018 yeilded 3 hit singles including UNITED by Dice Gamble ft. Shariffa Nyan, Pelle Price and VellVett, HEAVEN (Remastered) and THIS CHRISTMAS.  HEAVEN scored Shariffa a partnership opportunity with God's Glory Music Group and distribution deal with Symphonic.  Shariffa created quite the buzz with her 2019 single DO IT FOR LOVE ft. Dauntee VellVett!  Consistent spins on college and terrestrial radio as well as international and national blogs, definitely placed Shariffa in a lane all her own.   

Though 2020 was one history's most tumultuous years, God still blessed!  Shariffa garnered several award nominations, launched a custom shoe and apparel line HÜEMÖN® collaborated with several amazing Gospel, Country and CHH artists worldwide, and released her long anticipated EP, "Foreign".   

Today, Shariffa Nyan continues pursing her purpose as a mother of 3, a dental hygienist, singer/songwriter, budding entrepreneur and Woman of God.

So we’re now in October but it feels like this year has had 82 months already. But guess what? We still have three more months to make it count. Today we’re going to explore how social media, social fears and social interactions have affected our world in this longest, shortest year ever. Come on this journey with me!

So this move has been one of the most challenging yet one of the most exciting things I’ve done in my life. Let’s talk about change. Let’s talk about how your environment affects your growth. Let’s talk about birthing. Let’s talk about the sheer joy and excitement of a new season and a new adventure. And let’s learn a new phrase - Andra Tutto Bene!

Beautiful people, I’m back!!! First of all to say thank you for walking with me and looking for me while I was silent. And secondly to explain the silence. But last but most certainly not the least, to share a new adventure with you. Listen in 😍 It’s gonna be awesome!
