Welcome to another episode of ⁠Woman of G.R.I.T⁠, hosted by Dr. Ahne, The Gritpreneur. Today's episode is part 2 of a story of resilience, determination, and finding one's inner strength that began in Episode 18. Our guest is Wynette Richardson, who, after losing both her parents within a year, has emerged as a woman of grit, without reservation.

Wynette shares with us some of the tips, tools, and resources that have helped her navigate the valley of death and move forward with her life. Grief caused emotional pain and physical symptoms such as insomnia and loss of appetite. Self-care has been a pivotal part of her recovery, and she shares with us how she has been able to take care of herself during this challenging time.

Through prayer, consistent therapy, reconnecting with herself, and doing things that bring her joy, Wynette has been able to find her center again. Tapping into her community and her circle has also been helpful in her healing journey.

Wynette's story is not just about surviving but also about staying motivated and not giving up. She does this to keep her parents' legacy alive by living out her legacy, which coincides with the dreams her parents had for her. She thrives on helping others and making an impact in their lives, especially the youth. Wynette is also motivated by her adorable and precocious 2-year-old great-niece.

Despite the challenges she has faced, Wynette is proudest of becoming an author and "not breaking" when she lost her parents. Coloring has helped her bend and not break, and mindfulness, prayer, and self-care have helped her find her center again.

Join us in this inspiring conversation with Wynette Richardson, as we explore how to find our inner strength in the face of adversity and become women of grit, without reservation.

Welcome to "Woman of G.R.I.T". a weekly podcast and safe space for women to have authentic conversations about their shared challenges and successes and where we explore the stories of inspiring women who have demonstrated remarkable grit, determination, and resilience in the face of adversity.

In honor of International Women's Day, March 8th, 2023, today's guest is not really a guest though she lived a brief life and in death, has had far-reaching effects on humanity. Her name is Henrietta Lacks. Sheborn Loretta Pleasant on August 1, 1920, in Roanoke, Virginia. In 1941, she married Day's cousin, David "Zeke" Lacks, and together they had five children.  In January 1951, Henrietta went to Johns Hopkins Hospital to seek medical help for a painful lump in her cervix. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer and underwent treatment at the hospital. During her treatment, a small sample of her cancer cells was taken without her knowledge or consent for research purposes. These cells were found to have a unique ability to replicate rapidly and continuously, making them ideal for use in scientific research. Henrietta's cancer spread quickly, and she died on October 4, 1951, at the age of 31.  It wasn't until the 1970s that Henrietta's family learned about the use of her cells in scientific research. The cells, known as HeLa cells, were used in numerous medical breakthroughs, including the development of the polio vaccine, in vitro fertilization, and cancer research. They were shocked and upset that her cells had been taken without her consent and were being used for profit by medical companies. The family has since been involved in advocacy for patient rights and ethical treatment in medical research. Henrietta's story reminds us to #EmbraceEquity

Today's episode of woman of grit podcast is a continuation of a conversation with a special guest. You already met her in Episode 11, which was part 1 of what has been a very insightful and informative conversation so far.  My name is Dr Ahne, The gritpreneur, host, producer, and engineer of Woman of Grit.  I am excited to continue this relevant and timely conversation with author, podcaster, domestic violence advocate, and clarity coach for female entrepreneurs, Judith Kambia Obatusa. JKO as she is also known, previously shared valuable tips and resources that helped her overcome significant challenges in her life and we continue the conversation as she shares some important lessons, she has learned in her life so far, amongst other things. For context and a more detailed bio of our guest, I strongly suggest you listen to episode 11 first, before continuing with this episode. Otherwise, come on in, we saved a seat at our table for you.

In our passion and perseverance series, we have a guest, Nigerian-born Judith Kambia Obatusa aka JKO, who lives, works, and learns in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia. She is the host of Messy Can’t Stop Her, a podcast where she shares the stories of women’s resilience through chaos, crisis, and the challenges of life.  JKO is a marketing communications professional with more than 25 years of experience, but her passion is in women’s empowerment advocacy which inspires her work as a clarity coach, helping female entrepreneurs.  JKO also works as a domestic violence awareness and prevention advocate. In 2016 she created ‘Broken and Braced’, a platform for disseminating information about domestic violence and engaging people to end the enabling culture of shame and silence.  Judith holds a master’s degree in Intercultural and International Communication from Royal Roads University, in Victoria. A lover of the written and spoken word and in their power to transform, motivate and elevate. Judith considers herself a consummate over-sharer who audaciously shares her musings on her Blog, and in various published works including The Warrior Women Project anthology and more recently as an author and editor, of Relatable Voices, an anthology of stories to make you smile.  Having borne the brunt of domestic violence, the child welfare system and racism in Canada, she is on a mission to support women to use their voice and show up as their authentic selves wherever they find themselves.
