Imagine a city where the first thing that comes to mind isn’t just nightlife and tourism, but healing, connection, and vibrant health.

That shift is happening right now, and this episode takes you inside the movement that’s about to change everything.

Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander shares the story behind the first‑ever Healthy Living EXPO coming to Virginia Beach—a free, community‑powered event designed to spotlight the extraordinary wellness resources already thriving in the area.

From yoga studios and capoeira circles to integrative health pioneers like Sentara and the Edgar Cayce A.R.E., this gathering is more than an expo: it’s a declaration that Virginia Beach is ready to become a world‑class destination for wellness tourism.

· Why visibility matters – how simply knowing what’s around you can transform access to health and community

· The ripple effect of healthy cities – how one weekend of connection can reduce isolation, strengthen families, and shift a city’s identity

· What’s on offer – fitness activations, alternative healers, organic vendors, spiritual leaders, and hands‑on experiences for mind, body, and soul

· How you can be part of it – whether you attend, partner, volunteer, or simply share the vision

Press play to hear why this event matters—and how you can help build a future where “Virginia Beach” means wellness first.
