In this episode I am transparently expressing my current sentiments about social media usage for my personal life and overall brand. Should I stay or should I go?? 17 years in this thang, 🤔😩.

Wuzzaaam people! Many black voices are unheard, are muted, and are silent so I wanted to invite my friends and family to share their truth. In this episode I use spoken word to define my racial identity, giving you a description of my blackness. My friend Ashleigh tells us why she’s tired—being black can be exhausting when you live in a society that is built upon oppressing you. Thanks for listening!

Guess who’s bizzack!? What it do people!? Covid hasn’t left us, but our local governments are opening the state and we triumphed the hardships that covid19 has brought us! In this episode I’m discussing remote work, observing Ramadan, literally socially distancing from social media, and reflecting on the good I experienced during this goofy time. How has your life changed? What did you learn about yourself? Head over to @keyonaspeaks on Instagram and let me know. Peace!

In this episode the akh Shahada and I discuss dual allegiance as it relates to our way of life—Al Islam. We discuss why it is not healthy to have allegiance to other than the Creator.

It’s been two weeks since many of our normals have changed. I don’t have to list the many ways the Corona virus (Covid-19) has affected our lives nationally and globally. This is a VERY fragile time so much that I was skeptical of even producing an episode. I had to remind myself of the purpose of this platform: using storytelling and our narratives to create healing. I pray for us all and send positive vibes your way. Please share with your circles. 💛🧡💛🧡

In another episode of the mini series Harvesting Poeseeds/Poetree, I am sharing a piece I wrote last year. Being an empath can be taxing, so I decided to write about my feelings. I no longer feel overburdened, alhamdulillah! Follow me on Instagram at KeyonaSpeaks and check out the site www.keyonaspeaks.com

I’ve never been a fan of the phrase “New Year, New Me” because there hasn’t been preparation in planning how we will truly embark on being our new, best self. In this episode I am discussing why New Year, Healing Me is the motto and introduce #D20BSEASON. I’m excited to be back with you all and look forward to supplying you with great content this year, God willing. Season 2 has officially loaded! Oh, by the way please leave some reviews to let me know how you feel! Love you all, Keyona!
