Rising Elements

Welcome back Elements! It's Kayla here with you daily or weekly dose of reality. It's the month of October, which means its Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In this episode, I stress the importance of checking up on yourself and with your doctor to make sure you are not at risk of breast cancer. You matter! Make sure you are safe and always know what is going on with your body as it grows and changes every day. If you or anyone you know had or has breast cancer please know that you are strong and they are strong. Rise on Elements!

Hello Gen Z. Welcome back to Rising Elements with your host Kayla Jackson! In this episode, I continue to talk about unhealthy and healthy friendships. There are so many signs of unhealthy and healthy relationships I didn't want to force them all into one episode, so part 2 is here. Unhealthy relationships may have times where friends consistently want to be with you, make you feel bad about yourself, always challenge your choices, they are not there to celebrate your successes, or they lie and gossip about you. Healthy relationships will have acceptance, support, friends that always have your back even when you're not present, honesty, and they really listen to you. Again these are only a few key ingredients in an unhealthy and healthy friendship. Please know these signs of both healthy and unhealthy friendships. See you next week. Rise on Elements!

Hi Elements! It's Kayla here with Episode 7: A Conversation With You. In this episode, I just wanted to talk to you. I didn't hit deep thinking contents or mind turning topics because I feel like we see so much of that today. Sometimes it's good we have a break and do something different. I want to check up on you guys and see how you're doing. Whether it's normalizing mask-wearing, virtual learning, and future holidays, I want to see how you're doing. I hope you guys have a great day! Rise on Elements!

Welcome back Elements! It's Kayla here with your daily dose of reality. September is the month of Suicide Prevention Awareness. In this episode I talk about the startling statics of suicide death and attempts. I talk about how important your life is and how much your life matters. You deserve love and happiness. No one should take that away from you. Your pain matters and should not be suppressed. If you feel or know someone who is contemplating suicide please use the suicide hotline: 1800-273-8255 or text HOME to 741741. You are not alone! Rise on Elements!

Hi Gen Z! It's Kayla here with your 5th episode of Rising Elements. In today's episode "Is Our Body Their Choice?" I talk about the rights of women on abortion. Yes, a touchy subject, but as a female, I think it's a conversation that needs to be had. As females, we need to educate ourselves on the rights we have as young women. We need to prevent history from repeating itself as lawmakers attempt to silence us. It is important that as young women we come together to advocate for our rights and voices. We are the change, and it starts now! Rise on Element! Don't forget to like and subscribe to whatever platform you're listening on!

Hi Gen Z. It's Kayla here with your daily dose of reality. "Take Care of You" is simply what I mean, Take care of you!!! With so many things going on today I wanted to record this episode solely based on having a 10-minute break. As someone who keeps going nonstop, it's hard to take breaks. Although it's something hard to do, many forget that it is so important. Whether it's laying upside down on your bed, meditating, talking to friends, playing games, doing facial treatments, or even just taking a 15-minute power nap, it's important to just pause and do nothing. And I mean absolutely nothing. Don't even think about work. Remember you can't get work done if you're mentally, physically, and/or emotionally exhausted. Take care of you.

Hi Gen Z. It's Kayla here with your 2nd episode of Rising Elements called "You Good Man?" In this episode, I talk about the March 23 suffocation of Daniel Prude, a 41-year-old mentally ill African American male. Daniel Prude was suffocated in the hands of officers and nothing has been done to  prevent future events just like this one from reoccurring. In this episode, I bring you the March 23 events and talk about what really happened that night, and what has progressed 6 months later. Gen Z, we have to educate ourselves on issues like this and advocate for better treatment of our mentally ill personal. Remember we are the brightest future for change!
