Yesterday my daughter didn't come home from school and after several hours of confusion on everyone's part, i decided to have a conversation with her when she FINALLY came back home. A conversation I've been fearing

since she's been born. To say mental health is important is the understatement of the century. We have to listen to our children. We have to take care of ourselves and each other. I'm all about each one teaching one...so this is just a glimpse into the true beginning of our healthy journey. Thank you for listening. Please feel free to leave a message. I would love to hear your questions, comments & similar stories.

One of my beautiful friends/ listeners named Millie Jo responds to hearing J. Cole. Millie also shares another hip hop artist that peaks her interest!

I love music and although it's Monday, I will be making Spotlight Sunday a thing where I single out some great songs of all genres by some innovative & fascinating artists. Something has been telling me to listen to J. Cole lately. Every song I've heard of his, I've enjoyed but have yet to listen to any of his full albums. I look forward to binge listening to all of them in the very near future. I learned of this song while listening to his interview from a couple of years ago with Angie Martinez. J. Cole is known as a conscious rapper who shares personal experiences of his life over bomb beats.

In this episode I'm responding to a few questions that a fellow follower on Instagram posed to me about my creativity. I hope Sara inspires you all to continue communicating with me. My instagram name is @Ra.Ja.Ali and @The_Ellament.

During the course of my fast I failed to remember that I have a history of anemia. I felt the impact of that this morning...3 days after my fast.

In this episode I discuss the modern day public school system from my perspective as a single mother and as a substitute teacher. Apologies for the low sound. That won't be a problem in the future. 🙏🏾 Thank you for listening.

In this episode I explain why I'm so grateful to have this podcast and this platform. For the past several months I've been in an awful funk. I decided to fast several days ago...and just as i hoped, a breakthrough came. You are all experiencing it with me now and i am so grateful to all who didn't give up on me. It's like you knew i would come out of this depression when i wasn't even sure myself. I felt that and i thank and love you guys. Please enjoy and i hope this inspires someone to keep holding on.

You guys have no idea how excited I am to have this outlet & platform! I hope you become "regulars"...even though none of you are just regular ❤. I really hope you enjoy enough to return.
