In this inspiring episode of Shaping Freedom, host Lisane Basquiat sits down with award-winning journalist, producer, and host Shameika Rhymes — the creative force behind Check the Rhymes TV and Soul Liberation on BlackDoctor.org. Together, they dive into what it means to build your own table in media, stay authentic in storytelling, and embrace wellness while pursuing purpose.
Shameika shares her journey from working in traditional newsrooms to creating platforms that amplify underrepresented voices in entertainment. She opens up about balancing creativity and health, her experiences with self-care and recovery, and how vulnerability can create community and healing. The conversation also explores redefining success, the importance of mentorship, and finding freedom through authenticity and storytelling.
