#SmartBrownVoices - Learning from Diversity

What if you could sleep through the night and not feel guilty about it? We’re here to help you sleep well and feel great doing it.

Whether you are an entrepreneur, parent, or creative. Sleep affects us all in more ways than one. Some of you have severe insomnia or suffer from depression. Either way, Aycee Brown has dealt with both and can relate to what you are going through.

She was once a part of the #TeamNoSleep community due to the fact that she just couldn’t sleep at all. She suffered from insomnia since she was 14 years old and tried for so many years to just go to sleep. and at times she would cry because it truly wasn’t that easy.

Aycee started to research on how she could sleep better and over the years  developed her own regimen that works.

Sleep is not a luxury and that is why we’re here. We’re here to help you get some sleep.

On today’s episode, we look at the notion of coons. Which are individuals who practice inappropriate behavior when it comes to understanding the plight of black people in the world. Often times, coons are confused individuals who provide rhetoric that is counterproductive to empowerment, pride, and enlightenment for Black people. We’ll briefly discuss why coons are prevalent in media and how we should conduct ourselves when we have encounters with coons.

Escapism: The systematic process of compensating for inferior social and psychological beliefs, feelings, and status. The tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy.

Always attempting to smooth the pain with the half truths. Being honest is not cool today. It is not the thing to do. However, it should not be the gold standard of who we are. Honesty is a core element to the character that will be needed to survive in this world moving forward. Everything is being recorded, whether on video, audio, and written it’s all being document somewhere. Everything we do or say can come back to us in the future. Even if we do not intend for it too. This is why it is so critical to advance our thoughts, speech, and actions with every intention of keeping it real with ourselves first. Do not let escapism hold up back from being elite in your life.
