In this Visionary Catalyst Rewind Episode ou are invited to join a journey of self-discovery and cultural introspection. This episode is a raw look into the emotional heritage that thrives in silence within minority communities, revealing how the act of holding back tears and anger has been a vital survival tool, passed down from generation to generation. From the consequences of imposing strict discipline out of a necessity to protect, to the current winds of change ushering in gentle parenting, we traverse the changing landscape of love and care within our families.

Moving through the kitchen and into the heart, we explore the unspoken dialogue that takes place over shared meals, where food becomes a vessel for apology and affection. This is poignantly captured in a scene with Viola Davis in "Antoine Fisher," which serves as a catalyst for our examination of these rich traditions. And with vulnerability, I open up about a pivotal moment in my life at 21 that steered me towards emotional detachment, discussing the subsequent journey towards wholeness and the embrace of my true self. This episode is an ode to the beauty of healing, the power of acceptance, and the courage it takes to face every part of our being with love.
