Concealed SCARS

We all have our ways of coping with different situations. Sometimes we go through things in silence and maybe unable to fully express ourselves to others. In some cases we do that through different forms of art to relieve the weight off our shoulders and out of our minds. We have music artist Eddy Bose of Eddy Bose Music give insight of his own experience with depression and how he used music to express himself and healthily cope. This is “Musical Medicine”.

We all deal with mental health in our own ways whether it be good or bad. Sometimes it can take years for one to realize or except that it’s OK to seek professional help in order to cope with every day stressors. We have Jimmy Smith Jr. discuss his views on the stereotypes of men and mental health. He discusses that it’s nothing wrong with seeking professional help when you feel that you have to deal with it on your own. This is “Molding My Mental”

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt that you were living in someone else’s shadow. Everyone has their own expectations for you but never ask what it is that you want to do or who you are as a person. Sometimes it can take a while for some people to fully become aware of who they are because they have struggled for so long or never understood who they were because they lived in the shadows or the expectations of someone else. You get lost in that other identity. We have Jalin Hobbs talk about how he learned to break free and come into his own. How he dealt with fully becoming comfortable with himself. We all can get lost in who our family or society thinks we are but how do you introduce them to who you know you are. This is “It’s My Time”.

We have all dealt with grief whether it be relationships, friendships, family or any form of loss. Yes it’s hard at first and it takes time but it does get better. It’s okay and to have a moment but we have to keep pushing thru. We have special guest Mimi who is the host of Talk with Touché discussing her own personal experience with grief and how everyday is a step towards progress. This is “Gracefully Grieving”

Being able to fully go out and pursue that idea you have been sitting on can take a lot of confidence. You never know the outcome of what you put out and that’s okay. Perfecting your craft and having patience with yourself is part of the mindset to have when you embrace and acknowledge your purpose. Michael Aundre the creator of Royalversal which inspires creators and entrepreneurs to embrace their creativity. Tune in as he talks about not allowing the views of others create self doubt and interfere with your plan. This is “Embrace Your Creativity”.

We all have a path that we want and are meant to take in going through life. Our parents and families all have set things in mind for us and sometimes they can have a positive and negative affect on what we do. We all do what’s necessary to survive in this life that we have been given. When you becomes accustomed to certain patterns you may not be able to tell if they are good or bad in the beginning because that’s all you know. We have the beautiful Stacey who is the owner of Nataras Boutique and mother of 3 share her story on generational curses and how she constantly works on breaking old habits. This is “It Stops Here”

Being able to walk into a room and know you are the s**t respectfully can have you on a natural high. Especially if you have dealt with a lack of self-confidence beforehand. We have all had some form of a coming of age story. We have Derrionn Anderson who is an Author and Entrepreneur who talks with me about our journeys to self-confidence. This is “Crowned Confidence”

We all experience life in different ways which causes us to respond to situations differently. In some cases we may not respond in the most healthy way and that can disrupt our daily lives. Some of our life experiences can be traumatizing and we haven’t properly dealt with it. We get triggered by things without really knowing why. We have Shandrea Natae the creator of S.H.E and host of A Minute with Coretta as she talks about how she has and continues to deal with trauma in the forefront. Tune in as she discusses how understanding her truths allowed her to build up herself and her brand. This is “Traumatic Truths”.

“What police to do Black Men, doctors do to Black Women.” The the initial thought a pregnancy can be a beautiful and nerve wrecking experience. Some Black women are more likely to be treated differently during their pregnancy and delivery. The birthing experience is meant to be beautiful and non stressful for all of those involved. Listen to these advocates Heather Rollinson and Janahya Collier as they discuss their impact on Black Maternal Health in “Protect Black Women”
