In Episode 10, the WAGNN ladies discuss COVID-19 but with a little twist. As a people, we have heard an inundated amount of information about the pandemic that has led us to experience many emotions. Practicing social distance (1 in the studio and 2 via phone), WAGNN talks about ways of “Keeping Busy,” also known […]

In Episode 9, the WAGNN team discusses parental discipline. Discipline is a controversial topic that varies across cultures, beliefs, and the influence of life experiences. Often time, parents, guardians, or caregivers have misconceptions about disciplining children. Is there a place for discipline? Is there a wrong and right way to discipline your child? The WAGNN team tackles these questions and more.

With the numerous headlines that have become national news with the growing deaths of children at the hands of their caregivers, WAGNN opens the conversation with appropriate versus inappropriate ways of disciplining children. This topic will help parents review their techniques to envoke a dialogue to ensure the safety of our children.

Parents are also unaware of their disciplinary rights to correct unwanted behavior. Most states have a penal code that puts this topic into perspective. This code is researchable by state as it relates to disciplining children.

Also, in episode 9, the WAGNN ladies give personal accounts of disciplinary experiences and the lessons learned from their parental tactics. The ladies discuss different tactics their parents used or practice themselves with their family members. The information is shared to provide insight for parents wanting to figure out if they are teaching their children properly through discipline. Though there is not a perfect answer, parents should know that each child is different and require different levels of attention.

We also challenge parents to have conversations with their children and set expectations they are to follow. Also, discipline is a progressional form of teaching and not a one-shot deal. Children require attention, training, and verbal reaffirmation about their behavior. Lastly, discipline begins when the child can understand on their level a form of right and wrong. We sometimes underestimate the level of understanding our children possess. Tune in to hear the full podcast and enjoy!

In episode 8, the WAGNN team continues the conversation about Self-Love (from episode 7), this time with a focus on body image. The ladies take a journey back two centuries ago to shed light on the negative attention black women received for their robust bottoms. Specifically speaking of Sarah Baartman, also known as “Hottentot Venus.” Fast forward to the present, the same imagery of black women continues to be the topic of conversation and the driving force behind most commercial music as well as plastic surgery.

This segment discusses body image: How women view themselves, how we apply how people see us, and what we perceive as beautiful. Body image is a topic that is sensitive for many women, whether they choose to address it or not. Self-Esteem and Self-Love go hand in hand when you discuss body image.

Plastic surgery is a phenom that has grown in the past 20-30 years in black and brown communities. Social media has propelled such images to integrate a false sense of beauty into the minds of many. What is beauty? Is beauty in the eyes of the beholder or the eyes of an Instagrammer? WAGNN continues to discuss this topic to bring awareness of how history repeats itself. If you are on the wrong side of history, your fate may be similar to our dear Sarah Baartman. Oh wait, it’s happening present day.

Lastly, the WAGNN team provides some healthy tips towards plastic surgery safety, self-love, and being satisfied with yourself as you are. Some women will indulge in plastic surgery for their own reasons; however, seek clarification of your heart, mind, body, and soul before you do; it can save your life.

As infants/children, we learn how to treat ourselves and others. As we get older, we learn self-esteem as well as insecurities from our environments.

In Episode 7, the WAGNN Team discusses self-love and how it relates to relationships. We take a look to see how self-love or the lack thereof is applicable within our relationships.

WAGNN asks the following challenging questions: Does how we feel about ourselves manifests in our relationships? What causes a person to stay in a toxic relationship? Are our partners a reflection of who we are? Can the need for love from others and the fear of a failed relationship compel us to stay? These questions are asked to inform the masses about their options. Knowing when to throw in the towel is difficult for some to recognize or accept.

Communication with your partner provides a level of understanding that can create a stronger bond or help you decide what your next move should be. WAGNN also discusses being “single” while in a marriage or a committed relationship. Opposites attract, yet you don’t want the attraction to the wrong person. Self-love creates boundaries to alleviate heartache and pain.

WAGNN provides resolutions, commentary surrounding this topic to help ease heartbreak, pain, or grief within your relationship. Love can conquer all if true love is in the midst of your relationship.

In Episode 6, the WAGNN team breaks down the five stages of grief and how to identify each stage. The topics are driven home by also highlighting some aspects of the late great basketball legend, Kobe Bryant. WAGNN Panel gives the Audience personal accounts about difficult experiences and ways to handle them.

WAGNN also discusses proper etiquette as it pertains to grief, including social media networks and news reporting sites. Should there be rules to disclose the identity, whether traumatic or fatal details, to the public without confirming the acknowledgment with the family?

We hope you were able to learn about grief and the sensitivity around this topic. Empathy is developed and not given… Take time to understand and listen to others.
