Hi everyone! Simple talk this time about the Ramadan season, and what comes now. I hope you like it, and will be striving to do more of these very soon. Follow me on my social media pages for more news about what I'm getting up to lately!

Have you been watching The Handmaid's Tale?  Have you read the book? We really loved it, and we're going to discuss it again next month.  The book's main themes have many relevant points that apply to today's world, which is fascinating for a book that came out in the late 80's.  Listen to our talk about it, and tell me what you think.

Hi folks! I'm so excited to share this with you!  It's a little taste of what the good folks at Circle of Spears Productions have been up to as they produce my short stories, Tales of the Lantern, as an audio performance!  Soon, in time for Halloween, these eerie tales will be available for your listening pleasure.  In the meantime, enjoy this small taste, to get an idea of what's to come. Enjoy!!

As an author, I'm often asked about what I read, so today's episode is about what's on my shelf and the authors that I admire! What's on your shelf?

This episode is all about travel and culture...moving forward rather than getting stuck in the past.  Embracing change.  We talk about the benifits of travel with a young man who's done more than his share of budget travelling, and he provides many useful tips for travelling on a budget.  Sponsored by Blue Jinni Media, www.bluejinnimedia.com   For more works by Dedra L. Stevenson, please visit, www.dedralstevenson.com

I hope you guys enjoy this episode!  This podcast is just something I do for fun, so enjoy it and let me know if you'd like for me to talk about anything in particular. I had such a great time being the keynote speaker for the graduation this year, and my speech seemed to inspire a lot of people, so I thought you'd like to hear it! :) Have a great week,  and I'll be posting episode 2 of this season soon!

Have you guys had enough of bad manners?  Where have manners gone? I wish we could bring back a bit of the charm and grace of a time gone by.

Hi Y'all!  Sorry I've been away so long!  I wanted to put out this little episode just to let you know that I didn't forget about you, and I promise to be back really soon with new episodes and new topics. This is just a little-unscripted episode to say Howdy, and to get back in touch! Peace and Light to you all.

We all had it when we were kids, but the good news is that it's not gone, just sleeping.  So how do you access creativity again? Give this episode a listen. Enjoy!

Fitting in is hard when you're a teenager sometimes, but it's also hard for adults as well, particularly when you're in a multi-cultural environment. I'm chatting with Bernice, a young woman of multicultural origin, to get a better perspective.
