Rising Elements

Hey Elements, it's Kayla here with your Episode 42: Women's Heritage Month Special: Margaret Sanger. I felt so many emotions when writing this outline. I really can't wait for you all to listen to this episode. In short, Margaret Sanger is a women's rights activist and the idea behind birth control. She is the reason we have the Planned Parenthood Foundation of America. She is a strong and brilliant women who deserves to have her story heard. Now we must, as young women and women, do our part. Thank you Margaret Sanger. Rise on Elements!

Hey Elements. It's Kayla here with Episode 40: Women's Heritage Month Special: Joan of Arc. I'm really excited for this episode since enjoyed learning so much about badass women in herstory during World History last year and this year in US History. Writing this outline I felt truly connected with the strength of women and I wanted you to have a similar feeling as you start your week. So, here I present you this week's badass woman, Joan of Arc. Enjoy! Rise on Elements!

Hey Elements, its Kayla here (ofcourse!!) with your weekly dose of reality. I love Women's History Month just as much as I love Black History Month, so for the next 5 weeks I've decided to do at least one episode of Women in History who have made such an impact in the world. What better way to start that off than with the first bus stand incident with 15 year old Claudette Colvin. Learn what happened that day and how it inspired other abolitionists like Rosa Parks. This is your chance, Gen Z, to change the world. What are you going to do? Rise on Elements!

Welcome Elements. It's Kayla here with your weekly does of reality. This episode is about self-care, self-care relating to SAT testing. In this episode, I give you some tips to help reduce stress and anxiety before, during, and after testing. Yes, this is a self-care episode regarding the SAT, but it can also go for any other test you feel anxious about. The biggest thing I want you to take away from this episode is to be kind to yourself. It's okay to feel nervous, but just know you're going to do great. Rise on Elements!

Hey Elements. It's Kayla here with Episode 35: Use Your Passion To Change The World. In this episode, I talk about James Baldwin, a playwriter, essayist, novelist, and the voice behind the civil rights movement. Born on August 2, 1924, in Harlem, New York, Baldwin used his crafts and love of writing to express his views on social and racial issues. Going on to write amazing and novels like, "Nobody Knows My Name.", "Go Tell It On The Mountain", "The Fire Next Time", and many more. Just like James Baldwin used his personal experiences to change the world, you can too. You don't have to change the world in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, do it in a way that makes you happy. For instance, doing this podcast makes me really happy (sometimes nervous), so I use my drive, passion, and love for change and put it into my craft. Do what makes you happy, and change the world. Rise on Elements!  

February. A month that signifies so much. Love, Sports, and Black History. This episode, Episode 34: Let Them Hear Us. is an episode that sheds light on the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement; Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. These three women have worked  and continue to work toward change and promote the lives of Black people as social unrest continues to torment the lives of Black people. This month not only shed light on the amazing things our ancestors have done, but to also shed light on how far we've come as a community. We've got a bit further to go, but as long as we continue to fight for our rights as any other person, we can achieve racial equality for our next generations to come. Embrace your color, your pain, beauties (because you have beauties), and make them your own. Our Black is beautiful. We deserve greatness. We deserve to be heard. Lets remember who we've lost and what we've gained. Let's embrace February and let them hear us. Rise on Elements!

Episode 33: Be In Charge of Your Future is now here. Welcome back Elements. It's Kayla here. In this episode I talk to you about Rep. Greene of Georgia's 14th district. If you don't know who she is, she's been the talk of political news as she has promoted and even posted on her Twitter page about executing Democratic politicians and Trump's election being "stolen" from him. After the House voted and passed the decision to remove Rep. Greene from the House of Education and House of Budget Committees she gave her last two sense and it was still irrelevant. Ultimately this episode just goes to show as we grow and learn about the duties we have to do as citizens, we must educate ourselves on who we put in office. Know who they are, their aspirations, the goals, etc. Please don't just vote anyone in because they look like you or because they look good, but vote people in who will do their civil duties and protect our country. Be in charge of your future. Rise on Elements.
