Musing In Lotus

On this week's episode of #NoVisuals, I have the honor of talking with State Representative, Marcia Ranglin-Vassell. State Rep, Marcia represents House District 5, in Providence, Rhode Island. In the midst of this upcoming election season, it's important to learn who the elected officials that represent our communities are. State Rep, Marica has tirelessly worked for the communities as an advocate, educator, mentor, and in so many other capacities and over the last four years, has been the voice of working families all over Rhode Island, introducing equitable legislation to propel our communities forward. I hope you are as inspired by State Rep, Marcia Ranglin-Vassell as I am. 

This week on #NoVisuals, the conversation on 'Relationship Goals' continues - this time the self-love edition! It all starts with us, individually with self-love. With my (Shanique's) birthday right around the corner, I'm reflecting on my journey back to self and really discovering who I am and who I want to be! 

This week on the #NoVisuals Podcast, we talk about the idea of "Relationship Goals" and what is it truly NOT. At the fundamental level, relationships are about human connection but the true essence of relationships has been distorted and popularized by what we see in the media and through celebrity culture. Join Shanique and Jean as they delve into why some of those norms are so detrimental during this week's episode!

This week on #NoVisuals, we are talking with Terrence, the Founder of World Dreams, a Streetwear Brand based in Providence, Rhode Island.

Entrepreneurship is shifting from the large, consumption-based model, to one that fosters and supports the local, grassroots business within our own communities. We discuss Terrenece's beginnings and how he hopes to evolve over time.

In this week's episode, we discuss the current uprising and history-making moment we are living through. We have lost too many of our black brothers and sisters due to police brutality, have seen communities disrupted by systemic oppression, and have felt the effects of race-driven rhetoric that continues to perpetuate a crippling narrative. Join us as we discuss solutions and hear how we are contributing our energy and efforts to change in our communities and how we are supporting the liberation of ourselves.
