  • Learn. Do. Inspire - Pursue Your Passions w/ Guest Speaker Primo CUHHH PRT2
    In this episode of Learn. Do. Inspire we pick up right where we left off in discussing how important it is for individuals in our community to KNOW themselves when addressing their profession. My mom always told me that work should never feel like a job. However, it's unfortunate to see people going into careers -- not because it's what they love doing, but because it brackets a certain level of income. We address this issue by breaking down comfortability versus being content. 
    Additionally, Primo shares with us important advice on how to confidently enter a room, what he stands for, and answers a few other questions relating to what kept Primo Grounded throughout the years, and what sets him apart from others in the game.

  • Learn. DO. Inspire - Pursue Your Passions w/ Guest Speaker PRIMO CUHHH prt. 1
    I’m doing a little series on pursuing our passions: with the focus aimed on encouraging my audience and listeners to keep pushing forward (especially in a manner that is authentic to each of us individually). I believe there’s something beautiful about seeing people challenge themselves and produce content that they entirely make. Our passions are often born through inspiration from a thought or an external source and it’s always great to see how far it can go based on the tenacity and dedication of an individual. I also think that doing what you enjoy doing amidst your day-to-day routine is what I would totally consider self-care because you're showing up in spaces that make you Content and are not just living a life of comfort.
    My guest speaker today is someone I’ve known for a long time, And I’ve always admired the fact that he never allowed anyone to dim his light or make him feel insecure about his passions and interests. I can still remember when we were in Elementary school and the love Robert had towards KISS (a famous rock band)— and his love for wrestling (more specifically WWE). And throughout the years, it’s wonderful to see how his blueprint is reflecting what I’ve noticed he’s always gravitated towards in his journey. 
    I'm excited to share this conversation with you! Just to re-instate, these words of encouragement are ones you don't easily get tired of hearing... in fact, I feel as though you can't hear these words too much!
    On Part 1 of this two Part Episode, Robert shares with the audience how he came to love wrestling, and what sets him apart from others in the Game!

  • Learn. Do. Inspire - Music is Powerful w/ Guest Speaker Quá Ambitions
    In this episode, I've invited a very special guest: J-Quan to the show to discuss how impactful Music can be annnnd I'm excited to debut the Intro that Quá engineered for me!!
    Here we discuss how Music should be a reflection of us, and capture our perspectives and outlooks as we explore & evolve more. In that, J'Quan and I touch on how music is driven by emotion through artists who play and compose Instruments, and how the story is told from doing so. 
    Bless those who create music and bring people of different backgrounds together. When you really think about it -- Music breaks barriers and is able to tell a tale through creativity and rhythm. There are also many genres that aid in the mood and mentalities of its' listeners... For example, romance invokes ideas and concepts centered around sensuality and love; jazz aids and invokes creativity and liberty. Rap shares the life experiences of its narrator and can inspire its' listeners to approach different challenges alternatively... All I'm trying to say is; Music is vast and encapsulates so much that I had to bring this topic to focus.
    This was such a beautiful and DEEP conversation... and with Music being such a broad topic, I love that we could talk about many of the aspects that make up Music: Like the intentions and declarations in how our expressions are channeled. 
    J'Quan aka Quá Ambitions is a long-time friend who's so musically inclined and has been dropping songs since 2021 -- make sure to check out his Album Growth Over Company, and his newly released song, Background Reminders, and when I reached out to see if he could engineer the background audio for my show, I knew he'd be the perfect person to bring on because he's inspired me in so many ways!  This episode is a gem. 
    Quá Ambitions' top 3 Songs to Listen to: 
    1. My Bad
    "That's one that I love. That's one of my best mixes to date."
    2. Sidewalk Sentiments
    "I love that one."
    3. Basejump
    "Deepest one / hardest one to listen to sometimes - not because of quality but because of content."

  • Learn. Do. Inspire - A Conversation on Justice w/ Guest Speaker Dennis

    In a world shadowed by misguidance; my guest Speaker Dennis and I discuss the outlooks and characteristics that one must have in order to create a better space in the world we inhabit. Of which we focus on JUSTICE...Terms like fairness, equity, and advocacy involve the development of behaviors and actions that reflect having consideration for others. These attributes also shape our understanding of the situations and circumstances we see around us too because it trains us to have expanded outlooks outside of what we may have always known or are familiar with.

    Please tune in to hear us discuss what Justice means to us and what characteristics (mentally and spiritually) are needed in order to instill real change in our community, nation, and the globe.


    Also, listen in as Dennis tells us about his involvement as a civil rights advocate. On April 4th, 1977 Dennis took part in a peaceful protest where he amongst 100 others occupied the San Francisco Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Office for a sit-in lasting 24 days to instill provisions for individuals with disabilities relating to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; section 504.

  • Learn. Do. Inspire - A Discussion on Love w/ Guest Speakers Khalil & Marcos
    Today's episode of Learn. Do. Inspire explores what it means to embody that of love. Often times we get caught up in an idea of what it means through the influence of TV, Music, and general social constructs... However, I feel that many of us miss that important pivotal step of loving ourselves first before we enter friendships and relationships.
    But please note: How you approach the world in your outlook mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally is fundamental for how you contribute to bettering the spaces around you. 
    In this episode, we discuss how my maker, creator, and universe are that of LOVE. It's literally who he is. Throughout all of history, he's exercised his power through his commands of both good and bad things which is important to acknowledge because it is only through his tender mercy, love and kindness, that I am sitting here today talking to you -- and that you are sitting here alive, well, and breathing reading this very description. In my previous episode, I stress how important it is to look past the materialistic world that man has created and understand that we live solely within the mind of the all. But understand that we are conditioned to see life in this 2-dimensional reality when it's sooo much more than that. 
    In our discussion of love, it's through that of the term Agape meaning love that comes from God, because again he is love... However, I want to stress that LOVE is also a CHOICE. It's an ability through which we have the power to exercise it when we are faced with offenses done by others.
    1st Corinthians V13 says: 
    Love is Patient and Kind. Love is not Jealous. It does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not selfish and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love is never happy when others do wrong... but it is always happy with the truth. Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. Love will never end. 
    It's nice to read what's written in the Bible but very seldom do we apply what we read to ourselves -- which overall segues into self-love.
    Love is patient? But are we patient with ourselves? Are we kind to ourselves? Even the world around us? There are many aspects to our ecosystem that feeds and sustains the lifestyle we're comfortable having but are we loving towards the earth? Its species? Its resources? Its land?
    Because fam, if you don't love yourself, how can you really and truly even love those around you? Are the same standards and expectations that we set for other people even being followed by you?
    I always say that unity is Love. I strongly doubt that we were all put on this earth to try and get through it alone. I'll gladly be the first to admit that life isn't fair. It isn't easy... but really and truly the only way to combat evil is to let it slide right off of you through being extremely truthful, vulnerable, and trusting of each other. And if that isn't easy for you-- reflect on if you're rude to others, or easily peeved when someone has done something inconsiderate towards you. Or if you're made angry when you don't receive something you felt you were deserving of...Are you seeking the truth? Or are you content with living ignorantly in settings that don't sustain you?
    Behind closed doors, we need to reflect and ask how we want to see ourselves... How do we want to nurture unproductive energy into productive energy? What do we need to change in our lifestyles to get there?
    We don't just exist as one people, or one culture, or one ethnicity, or one species - so it's really worth asking: How are we actively coming together to better one another?

  • Learn. Do. Inspire -- Basics of the Climate Catastrophe
    Please tune into the Basics of the Climate Catastrophe to better understand a little more about this, 'Anthropocene Era,' that paleontologists, geologists, and scientists are coining this era in time. 
    Honestly, it's pretty easy to understand that big corporations, unconscious actions, and personal motives are playing a huge role in devasting/ ruining our planet all in the name of money from the continued extraction of resources, minerals, and metals found in certain continents.
     In this episode, I try to stress how humans are so accustomed to the natural world in which we exist that we easily forget our absolute dependence on survival is from this planet and its' services. Additionally, the food we eat, tolerable temperatures we face, employment opportunities we have - and so much more- are solely dependent on the role biodiverse organisms play in stabilizing the balance of the Earth's climate. 
    However, in the name of wealth and greed, this balance is dangerously at risk due to Man's immoral constructs, unethical techniques, and disgusting practices. In fact, a lot of individuals (or at least those in corporate settings) are more interested in continued materialistic gain than the threatening issues Earth and its civilization are in danger of facing if this issue isn't emphasized further. 
    This isn't an episode meant to scare my audience, but instead to further educate the masses so that more discussions are being had about the depravity of this issue. In future episodes, we'll expand more on the subjects covered and introduce more ways in which we can create innovative solutions.

  • The Motion of Emotions w/ Guest Speaker Shona
    I'm extremely excited to share this episode with you. I hope you could feel the love radiating from our conversation, and I hope what we have to say resonates!
    In this episode, we explore what exactly the motion of emotions could mean for you. And for me, it was a reflection of the journey of mishaps, bad actions, good deeds, enlightening ideas, important discussions, and literature that I was able to formulate the recipe for shaping my identity. And like Shona, and I say. Shid, shaping our identities is a whole lifelong practice and series of lessons. So every day is quite literally a learning experience, so it's worth asking and pondering how we can combat some of these bad vibrational energies through kindness. Like Shona says, "When we learn to love ourselves we learn to love others bringing peace and positivity to our community. This has the power to set off an infinite chain reaction of people seeing how simple deeds can change a person's day, and so are encouraged to match that energy."
    PLEASE SHARE YOUR IDEAS
    How can one person positively impact the world around them? This one person could even be you, share your story by leaving a message. We'll accept all perspectives

  • Learn. Do. Inspire Grit

    My best friend gifted me with a mic. I know. The thoughtfulness! She knew what I needed before I even knew I did... This episode is a deep reflection of grit. I can definitely say that I've been through some deep emotional battles, obstacles challenges that almost discouraged me from fulfilling my purpose. I was holding myself back. Didn't have anyone to blame but myself for my actions and behaviors... I wasn't seeing the outcome I wanted for myself. Sitting around repeating the same ole actions, being content with the way things are surely wasn't doing anything to help the better collective. Continuing onwards, making the time for yourself, to better you, the community, and as a result, the world starts with awareness, LOVE on your heart, and effort. I know it's not easy. The Bible never promises us an easy journey. You gotta better yourself before you can help the betterment of the world fam. That doesn't mean you should give up.
