Hi to the Hive! As the title implies, this bonus episode allows Adriana to share her future plans, for Ranting Teen Talks. Additionally, there are some features to look forward to! Listen in, to hear the latest updates. 

Hey, hello, hi! In this episode, on Ranting Teen Talks, Adriana introduces Anika and her older brother, Neil. Together, the three discuss CoronaWarriors Inc., which is a website founded by Neil and several of his friends. This website was created with the intent of leading change and action towards COVID-19, by raising funds and donations to their local COVID-19 fundraiser. Anyone can contribute by selling or showcasing their artistic expressions on CoronaWarriors Inc. You have this amazing ability to move forward and help people along the way; but you need to make that first step if you want to get anywhere.  

So, take that step and make a difference, my Bumblebees.

Hey, hello, hi! Here, on Ranting Teen Talks, Adriana introduces another original poem. What's different about this one, is that she actually wrote it as an 11-year-old. This poem, called "Stars," was created to encourage others to think outside the "box" and express yourself in your own, unique way. The inspiration for this poem? - Two art teachers with very different teaching styles.

Hey, hello, hi! After a month and 10 episodes, your favorite threesomes are back together, here on Ranting Teen Talks! There was laughing, chatting, and a *fierce* competition . . . what more could you ask for? Listen in as Rachel and Adriana fight 'til the DEATH ( -or at least fight for bragging rights), to see who knows KAYLA better. Who will succeed, Rachel, Adriana, or even you?

P.S.

No, a dog is not a zodiac sign. *Looks accusingly at Rachel*

Hey, hello, hi! Let me start off by saying, yes, this pandemic has a gargantuan list of negatives under its belt. However, in order to keep people motivated to be safe and aware, it is crucial to acknowledge the positive sides of the situation. This includes both human and environmental impacts that demonstrates a beautiful growth in our lives. If we consider, as individuals, how our choices really do make a difference, then our limits can no longer define us.  We have the strength to keep moving forward. 

Stay Safe, my Bumblebees,

Hey, hello, hi! Overestimating and underestimating are concepts that we may know, but typically don't analyze. Listen, as Adriana uncovers her thoughts on the terms and their meaning from her perspective. Over and underestimating can affect you and how people view you, so it's important to find that medium. Plus, we, as humans, must discover what it means to judge based on the facts, not on our opinions. There is a difference, which is vital to how we affect the world around us. Our voices and thoughts have power, but we need to decipher when it is time to use them.

Hey, hello, hi! I'm back with another REAL talk, here, on Ranting Teen Talks.  As humans, we will all go through a hardship that seems like a mountain in our path; a storm in the way.  However, it is important to acknowledge that the storm will pass and the sun will return. You, my BEE-utiful Bumblebees, are strong, brave, and unique. Nothing can take that away from you. You are a warrior inside, and you have the power to move whatever mountain is in your path. 

Trust yourself, 

- Adriana.

Hey, hello, hi! In this REAL talk episode of Ranting Teen Talks, Adriana discusses the topic of being overwhelmed. There are a gargantuan amount of situations that can cause you to be overwhelmed, but to know and believe that you are strong enough to over come them makes a difference. Taking the time to breathe and to collect your thoughts isn't a sign of weakness; it presents the strength to know when you need a break. You are capable wonders and define the meaning of courageous, my Bumblebees. Never forget that. 

 So much love,

Adriana

Hey, hello, hi! I'm here to bring to you another REAL talk episode on Ranting Teen Talks, this time on acknowledging the differences between saying "I am enough," and "I am worth it." This difference, my Bumblebees, is crucial to who you see in the mirror when you look at yourself.

Hey, hello, hi! Are YOU bored? Bored with nothing to do (or perhaps have stuff that needs to be done, but you tend to procrastinate)? So am I! That's why I am bringing to you 10 things that have been keeping me busy during quarantine. Hopefully, you will find them helpful.
