VITFriends VITILIGO Support Group

In this episode, I'm joined by Nia Rose and James Smith. We discuss the need for spaces where men feel heard, loved, and safe. What is a safe space? What is the impact of not having accessible safe space for men? How can we change the stigma behind men seeking help when needed?

My next guest is Gilda A Carter. Gilda joins me on the podcast to share her journey with vitiligo. Tune in to find out what brings her joy and hear how she's navigating life while living with vitiligo.

Comedian Ty Raney is back! We discussed the comedy circuit, before and after the height of the covid pandemic. We discussed other subjects, too. My personal goal is to normalize vitiligo one conversation at a time!

Bev Quinn from North Carolina shares her unique journey with vitiligo. Every story and every journey is unique to the person who is living it. Bev shares what she thinks is the trigger for her rapid spread of vitiligo. Tune in at 2 pm to learn more about Bev's story.

This is my 1st At Night episode in a long time. At Night was created as an opportunity for me to share my thoughts and opinions on various topics. This is not scripted or rehearsed. No panels, no guests, just me and my microphone for 14 minutes.

The Relationship Panel is back for 2023. Our conversation about love is in full effect!

The Relationship Panel is designed to provide connection, understanding, and support for people who dream about love. We understand that relationships are challenging. We want to give hope to the hopeless and confirm that love does exist. We are open and honest about our journeys into the realm of dating, relationships, and marriage. Our goal is to create opportunities for adults to have discussions about the positive side of relationships.

Maurice, a licensed therapist from Charlotte, NC, is back for another Brother 2 Brother discussion about our youth. We discuss the challenges our youth face, the impact of social media, and the dangers of having easy access to information on our youth. Maurice shares some easy tools and games for parents to use to connect to their children beyond the normal "How was your day?" conversation. Those tools can be useful in marriages and dating relationships, too.

Meet Melissa, The Spotted Beauty from North Carolina. Melissa's story is about change, loving yourself, and accepting who you are. Self-love and acceptance are so important in a world that tries to set standards of beauty for us to live by. Her story is empowering and inspirational. Tune in Sunday, January 29th at 2 PM Eastern Time.
