Melanin Muses Podcast

We're sitting down with the indomitable Kaleena Powell, a hard of hearing entrepreneur, author, and advocate. She bravely shares her journey of losing her hearing at just four years old, and how navigating life, school, and societal barriers only fueled her fire to succeed. Imagine being a small child and suddenly the world around you is plunged into silence. Hear Kaleena's powerful narrative of resilience, self-love, and triumph. 

We venture into a discussion about common misconceptions associated with the deaf and hard of hearing community, a conversation that's as enlightening as it is necessary. Kaleena talks about the challenges she faces in communication, her wish for more patience from others, and her thoughts on the importance of ASL in education. It's an insightful conversation for anyone wanting to better understand and respect the experiences of hard of hearing individuals. 

But wait, there's more! Ever wondered about the unique challenges faced by hard of hearing individuals in the dating world? Kaleena's got you covered. As a woman of color with a hearing disability, she has faced obstacles and stereotyping. Her experiences, however, have led her to a deep understanding of her worth and a passionate advocacy for self-love. We wrap things up learning about Kaleena’s current ventures, and how to stay connected. This is not just an episode, it's a journey of resilience, a story of triumph over adversity, and a testament to living life on your terms.

Laarni is the Founder of the “Strong and Mighty Company” and of the “Standing in Strength Global Movement”. She is known to many as “The Power Lady” not only due to her signature “power bun” and the strength sports she partakes in, BUT it’s also because of her belief that “Strength is Universal” and she’s able to find strength in all aspects of life.

Utilizing her arsenal of gifts, Laarni encourages and leads women to honor their power through her message of Strength. Her primary belief is that when you believe in your own strength, you can positively impact others around you, overcome feelings of being held back, and outgrow the standards that are imposed on you.
