Von is an Atlanta Massage therapist and an advocate for self love, wellness and systems of support. Check Von out on Instagram @Vonthegreat_ and support her massage business “The Healing Queendom” and women's group “Therapy for The Strong Woman”

On Today’s Episode, I chat with Sunda - artist, community builder and mental health advocate. Our episode feels so timely as Sunda is the brains behind Self Love Club.  A Community created to inspire and bring awareness to mental health through self-care and holistic practices that encourages self-reflection. Sunda and I connect on the power of our networks, the importance of transparency, and how self-care should and will look different for everyone but it’s about your connection to the practice. Sunda shares how the family is at the core of who she is and comes from a large family.  Sunda is a proud cool aunt as she seeks to encourage adventure and curiosity in her nieces and nephews and encouraging them to be their best selves. 
Our convo highlights how individual story connects to our passion. Sunda talks about her journey with anxiety and how her ability to talk about her healing has connected her to others. Her dedication in this space has helped her find alignment not just with Self Love Club but also while in pursuit of a master's in clinical counseling.

On Today's Episode, I talk to Mercilla Ryan-Harris a proud Atlanta Native, Hampton Alum, public health professional and general wellness advocate. Mercilla or Mercie to most is fueled by her love for Black people, her city, and weaves that into everything she does. We talk about the importance of her work to move the conversation on the impact of racism and health as a co-founder of the Nonprofit organization BlkHlth.  We discuss the importance of celebrating ourselves more often than not, how she navigates imposter syndrome by accepting that what comes to you, is for you. Mercie reminds us of the importance of staying connected to the true you when the thoughts come by reminding yourself that you are enough.

On Monday’s episode, I talk to Mel Douglas a LA-Based Yoga Teacher and activist. Mel is the founder of the Black Women’s Yoga Collective and says that it is the product of her love for black women, yoga and community. I found Mel on instagram and instantly felt at home amongst her playlists, transparency and self-love journey. Mel and I discuss how she found her practice, what version of her she is showing up as well today and how she is hoping to continue expand the ways that she creates the space for black women to heal and do what it takes to find their power.

On Todays Episode I talk to Corey or DJ Corey Grand to most. Corey is a Cleveland Native a and more than a DJ, he is a producer, creator, and part of The Monday Program. Corey and I talk about trying something new and not being afraid to wing it. We discuss the process is really about not having a process,  the creative bone that is within us all, and the importance of not just working to work but creating something and doing something that is for you. Corey talks about the power of collaboration with "The Monday Program" and calls it a space for inspiration for all creatives. He says "The Monday Program gives creatives, no matter their medium, a kick to start their week"

On Mondays episode of @katcuriositymissed I talk to Ayo Duyile.
An entrepreneur, DMV native and tech professional. I personally welcome Ayo to Atlanta and talk about navigating his sense of home as a newish resident ( because clearly, I should be on the "Welcome to Atlanta" committee). We discuss the importance of recognizing the strengths of the people to the left and the right of you and keeping people around you who are moving the same way you are. Ayo talks about what keeps him motivated and is really fueled by knowing there’s another level of mastery for him to reach. Ayo stresses the importance of working hard doing what you need to do but also finding the time to decompress even if that means scheduling a nap, a run, or watching Batman.

On Today's Episode, I talk to Durand Bernarr, singer, songwriter, and all-around creative. We talk about the importance of giving yourself grace, showing up as the best you that you can give at that moment, and lead with love and gratitude. Durand reminds us of the importance of safe spaces to be yourself and talks about who he makes his music for, how he creates and most importantly how you can listen to the album Dur&.

On Today’s Episode, I try something a little new for my platform... a group interview!
I am grouping these conversations as a monlthy series called  “Opening The Lines” Some type of subject-focused interview amongst friends, strangers, and storytellers.

For February,  naturally, our subject was Love. I interviewed three people who have taught me how to love myself, love them, and love others because of my proximity to them. Brandon, Evan and Nandi  lean into a dialogue  about learning to love themselves, what it feels like to be transparent and honest and how their childhood shaped their understanding of love and the real-life manifestation of love. We talk self-love, sex, and love, and connecting the dots to make it all work together.

On Todays episode, I talk to Ron B 
He was born, raised and inspired by Cincinnati, Ohio. Ron owns and operates a brand called “Spkng In Tongues “ where his main goal is to vent creatively and use ideas to help solve hard issues. Outside of the clothing, he says, his work is really to serve my community because none of us do this alone. Ron is one of the many creatives that balance a 9-5 in addition to a number of passion projects. He shares that and even in his day job working in Higher Ed his goal is to make sure that marginalized students have a resource and an advocate to ensure that their college experience is free from unnecessary roadblocks. Ron says that “A cultural community garden is what I aspire to be and I hope to continue feeding the people around me”

On this weeks episode of @katcuriositymissed we interview Nandi. A dancer, experience creator, sister, and my right hand. Nandi and I go back to 2009 and our conversation marks our personal journeys to self-love, freedom of expression, and sensuality. I am overjoyed to kick off February with this interview. Nandi talks about how she loves herself out loud and takes nothing from people who can’t reciprocate that energy. Listen as she talks about the women-only experiences she is creating to highlight the beauty in us all.
