Terrell Talks...

Hey there, Talkers! We're back with another exciting episode. This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Marnina Miller. Marnina is a Black, queer, plus-sized woman living with HIV, and her story is nothing short of amazing.

Marnina's passion and energy are truly inspiring. You won't forget her smile and the positive vibes she brings to this conversation. 

I first met Marnina when she was just beginning her journey as an HIV advocate. Since then, she's become a nationally renowned speaker and motivator, especially for Black women, queer women, and those living with HIV.

Marnina is a true game-changer, using her platform to empower women and youth with education while dismantling stigma from an intersectional perspective. In this episode, she shares her personal journey of living with HIV, offers tips for using your social media authentically, and gives us a glimpse of what's next for Black, queer, femme leaders.

But that's not all! We also dive into a fascinating moment where we were both called into a meeting with the multi-platinum selling artist, DaBaby, to address HIV stigma. You won't want to miss this one, Talkers... Tune in and get ready for an eye-opening conversation!"

We'll delve into the profound impact of losing a loved one to overdose, not just on us, but on our families and the children of our siblings. Plus, we'll share valuable resources and strategies aimed at reducing overdose cases. 

This is a conversation that matters, so be sure to tune in and join us as we navigate through the depths of this crucial issue."

During this episode, I invited my little sister to join the podcast. She's one of the most outspoken and opinionated people I know. She never holds her togue. This episode is rate R for explicit language! 

What makes our relationship intersting is that we didn't meet until I was 23 and she was 19. Since then, our relationship has grown, but it's taken time. We talk about the growingn pains of meeting a sibling as a adult and how she supports our father who is currently incarcerated. She also shares more about herself and taps into a few buzzing topics! 

Tap in Talkers. This is a good one!!

Out of all the Terrell Talks episodes I've done so far, this one is by far the most important. I sit down with someone I have known for over 20 years to discuss one thing we have in common... What it's like to loose a sibling to overdose. 

Last year, Kisha and I both lost a sibling to the opiod epidemic. Last year, the CDC reported record numbers of overdose and drug poisonings - over 100,000 in the United States. Despite the record numbers, a great deal of stigma still exists for those left to remember their loved ones. 

Kisha sits down to talk about what it's like to loosing someone to this epidemic, how life continues after this tragedy and what she's doing to keep the legacy of her sister alive. 

Kisha is the proud owner of Encourage Children Learning Academy and the founder and executive director of The Coordination Inc. Kisha's goal is to positively impact youth in her community. 

Tap in for the important conversation!!! 

This Podcast is in honor of Portia and Tim.
