Welcome everyone back to Sista Luv. Picking back up the season for a call to rest for those who are wayfinder and path creators in the world. Rest looks different and requires clarity on adapting to needs that are internal to self, being clear on purpose and sphere of influence, and allowing others to serve withn our lives. Glad to be back in the saddle and stay tuned for the rest of the season!

We have the honor of sharing with a dear friend and colleague of mine who researched fatness and leadership as her dissertation topic at the University of San Diego (2016). Dr. Jess (as I call her) shares some of her findings with us along with the evolution of body acceptance across communities and intersections. Dr. Jess can be accessed via instagram @THEJESSICA_J or her website http://www.jessicajamese.com. Tune in for a great chat about self-advocacy and making visible space for others. 

Join us in learning how Diversity and Inclusion Manager, Nancy from Chicago, charted her current course with work life balance through self-advocacy.

My youngest sibling, Ashley from Texas iamashleymking@ig (instagram),  joins us today to share about making life moves, transitions, while finding your alignment centered in peace. 

Join us for an exciting conversation that will definitely inspire you to push towards your greatest desires unapologetically.

We are taking time to name and describe the types of support needed to be successful in our profesional and personal lives. Sponsors, coaches, mentors, and friends are among the groups of persons we can access to provide guidance, assurance, mentoring, and a shoulder for our life goals or genuine well-being.

"Who We Be" is one of the popular songs released by the late artist DMX born Earl Simmons from Yonker, New York. Join me as I intersect the idea of living with an orphan spirit with the powerful ways DMX show us how to combat not belonging, feeling abandoned, and finding self-expression. 

Luda had a hip hop song back in the day called "What's your fantasy." I heard it the other day and it sparked a conversation with myself and a long-term friend about the fantasies or attachments we have to the relationships in our lives to include: family, friends, dating/partners, and careers. Join me as I share in some gems learned along the way from a few recent deep dives into literature and life.
