September 2021 (Greensboro, NC) -- It’s taken me a long time to figure out that my rhythm and capacity are just… different. 🥴 That’s why I was so eager to invite my next guests to Episode #31 of #ukuvusa — @likesha_morgan_tillman of @alwaysalady.me and @mrsstephaniedrakecarlisle of @officialconquerqueen!!!

These women have been such inspirations to me over the last few years as I’ve been making new admissions (to myself) and awakening to parts of myself that I thought were long gone… or never existed. 👁

Our conversations always bring me back to what matters. We invite you to listen in on this ✨special✨ conversation that I’m sure will give you something valuable 💎 for your own journey.

Aired on September 14 @ 7pm on @onyxurbanradio — www.onyxurbanradio.net

September 2021 (Greensboro, NC) -- This is easily one of my favorite Ukuvusa conversations to date!! @freedopemajor joined for the 2nd time and @ainsworth_chuck brought a powerful new perspective to the topic of awakening. 👁

This one is about leadership. What is the pilgrimage of a leader? How do we know what risks are worth taking? How do we connect with people who are different from ourselves?

Chuck and AJ’s stories are full of lessons about how to create your own path and turn the deepest pain into something extraordinary. 🔥 Listeners caught it on Tuesday 9/7 @ 7pm on @onyxurbanradio!!

May 2021 (Greensboro, NC) -- One thing the year is teaching me is the importance of truly and deeply hearing people out, asking questions, and appreciating those who aren’t afraid to share their truths. Curt Meinhold of @fluxcreativestudio began as an associate, evolved into a part of my podcast process as the sound engineer, and is now a friend. WOW 🤯 his story is wild.

If we can’t share our stories, be curious about our differences, and learn from the experiences of others then what else makes us human? TUNE IN 🎙 to the Ukuvusa podcast to eavesdrop on this conversation between unlikely buddies. Curt, I appreciate you!!

April 2021 (Greensboro, NC) -- Our Ukuvusa intern, Deztinee Allen, took the interviewer seat this time and asked Dr. Z some questions about her own awakening. The journey continues... 

April 2021 (Greensboro, NC) -- We brought some single Black men into the Ukuvusa conversation🎙to shed some light 💡 on what dating is like from their point of view. Between Derrick Jaxn, Kevin Samuels and Umar Johnson, are ALL the messages janky?! 🥴

The rules have CHANGED, folx... we need to recalibrate!! 😅 Tune in for an honest and hilarious convo with my high school classmates — and regular inmates of Facebook jail (due to their, uh, candor. 😬 lol) @management336 and @aj_whitsett!!

March 2021 (Greensboro, NC) -- We hear about toxic masculinity all the time... BUT what do toxic feminine traits look like? 👀 In this episode of Ukuvusa, 3 lovely ladies joined me for an honest discussion about what it means to take the journey of healing as a Black woman in the 21st century.

I’m joined by my high school classmate and fellow @onyxurbanradio podcaster @thedopehearted, my 21-year-old niece @ayaosei, and our Ukuvusa therapist Dr. Niah White (@fiercely_free) of @spirit_counseling.

This conversation challenged us, and we hope it will challenge and encourage you, too!! 2020 taught us so much, including the importance of welcoming the joy that is our birthright and the importance of taking full responsibility for our role in the state of our lives. Issa process!!!

March 2021 (Greensboro, NC) -- What if your awakening 👁 is intended to take you all over the world? 🌍

It was International Women’s Day 🌺, and Ukuvusa was pleased to welcome one of Greensboro’s favorite international leaders, @francajlove of Jalloh’s Upright Services!!

Franca’s journey is amazing, and the work that she has done for the immigrant and refugee population is undeniable. In this episode, Franca talks about her upbringing in Sierra Leone and Brunei, her decision to come to America, and the inspiration behind her International Taste of the World Gala!! 📸💃🏽

March 2021 (Greensboro) -- Episode #22 aired on Tuesday 3/2 at 7pmEST!! 🎙

Have you been feeling the need to awaken to new ways of being? Are you truly at peace? 💫 Do you regularly experience joy? 🤗

This episode features our resident therapist Dr. Niah White (@fiercely_free of @spirit_counseling), UNCG history doctoral student Felton Foushee (@fousheecreative), and @elonuniversity student and @deftable intern Deztinee Allen (@goddez00).

We discuss the nuances of Black trauma, breaking codependency, pure love and so much more!! Come gather tools for the next season of life. Time to wake up!! 🔥 @onyxurbanradio

P.S. — It’s ok if you don’t want things to “go back to normal” if “normal” was unhealthy. 😞 There is another way, but it will probably require some deep truth and sacrifice. You ready? 🤨
