Thick & Fabulous

It is so sad how the African American community does not know how to manage their diabetes and often fall victim to death from the complications of diabetes when it can be prevented with the right diet and exercise. Today I sit down with, "The People's Dietitian" Yolanda Jackson. Yolanda is a 3yr PHD candidate, a registered dietitian and the owner of Nourish You Nutrition here in Lexington, Ky.

So grab your pen and paper and call your family in the room and let's have a candid conversation about diabetes!

We talk about different birthing methods, the difference between a doula and a midwife, VBAC(vaginal birth after cesarean), their birthing experiences, and how to choose your doula and having a birthing plan.

Parenting has taken on different looks over the years. From spanking, to time-outs to now gentle parenting. Not to mention the old school way of children are seen not heard, to giving your children a safe space to openly speak about their feelings and being able to talk about anything with your parents. Today I sit down with Dr. Shambra Mulder a Licensed Psychologist with expertise in working with children and adolescents. Dr. Mulder has over 20 years of experience advocating for those who are considered “the least of these”.

Listen in as we have an open and candid conversation about parenting.

I had the most wonderful opportunity to have a phone interview with none other than 3 Time World Record Powerlifter Holder Tamara Walcott. We talked about how she got into powerlifting, to being an unapologetic thick & fabulous African-American woman in a male dominated sport. Listen to how she zones out the world as she lifts, to telling us how it T-I-Is about being fabulous as a mom, fitness coach, daughter, sister and friend.

This was recorded a in October 2021 before I had a podcast. I sat down with Lexington native Chris Hudson, CEO and Founder of Life's Journey Clothing. Chris talked about his journey as an entrepreneur from selling his brand out of the trunk of his car to having celebrities' like Rick Ross and now T.I. to name a few rocking his brand. We tapped in to his personal life as it it pertains to his health, son and spirituality. Listen in. You are definitely in for a treat.

I sat down with two phenomenal women, Natasha Ramsey and Cierra S. Spaulding as we had a very open and honest conversation about body image from BOTH points of view. We always hear about the overweight side of the story and how they should look, but there is an equally important story for the skinny girls as well in how they look. Both sides experience body image issues and the words that hurt and often leave scars on our self-esteem.

Today I sit down with a friend of mine I met while teaching Zumba, Susan Lowe. One thing I didn't know about her and to be honest, it never came up is that she had a tummy tuck right after meeting her. Susan goes into how she chose her surgeon, how she went back to work after a week off with her drains still in and how affected her self-esteem. Truly a good listen!
