We often talk about the effects of white privilege but rarely do we talk about the effects of black pride. RaQuel shares a racial identity development model by using her counseling background to address how messages are interpreted, how we view ourselves and how meaning is constructed. This racial identity development model has been associated with healthy psychological functioning.  RaQuel and Cieara talk you through what racial awareness  and self identification looks like while exploring how it creates a better tomorrow. 

We spoke with Nakeyia Bennett who is an ordained minister and the author of Color Me Free. There is a lot of noise that often happens in our head from doubt to fear but how do you know when God is speaking to you. We talk the new age, discernment and what it looks like to leave this world empty.

The world, society, your coach, your therapist and your friends will tell you to forgive people because it is the right thing to do and it offers you freedom. How true is that? Cieara and RaQuel share very personal stories of betrayal, hurt and pain. They talk about how protecting your peace is an element of your ego that doesn't allow to you to experience the fullness of life while also offering your gifts to the world. Life continues to present opportunities. Are you in position to receive the opportunities or are you busy protecting your peace/energy?
