Its always good to see family, it's even better to build with them. I want to thank my cousin Justin Hawkins for sitting across from me and opening up about the importance of knowing your worth, self-determination, and shame. Depression as a symptom of deep seated shame can be a true beast and can lead us to create ourselves into monsters and victimize ourselves and those we love. Creating familia curses that can turn toxic behavior into inheritances. Lets break these chains!

I had the pleasure to speak with Dr. Zehtu Cakata. A native South African and a professor of psychology at The University of South Africa. Her studies regarding the effects of colonization on not only the social system of South Africa but the psychological sense of self for the original peoples are thorough to say the least. I hope you all have a healthy and open dialogue regarding the topics; with self first (of course) and with your social groups. Happy learning and growing.
