Episode 33 | Embracing Independence Feat. @Freedom_of_righteousness_ (Reflections With VAL.) (Podcast/Interview)

*

*

While we’re all in a pandemic; sit back and tune into episode 33 | Embracing Independence with @Freedom_of_righteousness; he is an artiste, poet, visual designer, photographer, & activist from Newark, New Jersey. HE's also 1 of 3 out of the Freedom Fighters Activist group created in Newark NJ. VAL. was so excited to share this guest on her show because his story alone is very inspiring, impactful and forces you to remind yourself on how grateful you truly are. Its important for us as a nation to feel united in a nation where we’re becoming more divided on the daily. Our loved ones spend more time on screens than spending time with one another. WE feel the information we hold on our phones are more valuable than the people who actually care for us in real life… these are one of the many reason I started @reflectionswithval… I’m tired of seeing miscommunication based on social media perceptions… I’m tired of people using a profile page as a self esteem booster because of how much they've repressed from the pressures of their inner social media circle… I’m tired and most of us should be... Take some time to listen to Freedom’s story and know that there are many of us in this world that feel under valued, compared, sad, stressed, not enough… etc. and all due to the pressures social media and our “perfect world” image our friends allow us to see. I want to thank everyone that didn't judge or see me as this “perfect image” because i’m no where near that. Thank you to my supporters & listeners… I made it to 33 episodes and I’m beyond grateful!
