Concrete and Blossom Podcast

Welcome World! Getting to the good stuff in Season 4 on Concrete and Blossom Podcast. Episode 28 - Missing Black Man is co-hosted with one of my favorite intellects – Mic Perkins of My Punk Ass Podcast! We address the unavoidable fact that black homes, the black communities, the black America, the black world is missing the black man, let’s talk about it!

So Listen Listeners! One of my favorite quotes when talking about Black Men is “I am not your enemy, I am your ENERGY!” 

Black Women: my message to you is although we cannot teach black men how to be men, we must learn to cherish black men, protect black men, and love black men to their growth and through their growth. When we separate ourselves from the idea of the black man, we empower every systemic oppression tool created to dissemble the black community. Don’t worry this is only the beginning of this conversation here on the Concrete and Blossom Podcast platform!

Welcome world! It's one of your favorite Creator & Hosts, DawnTheDoll. This is Season 4 Episode 27 of Concrete and Blossom Podcast. We are aspiring to create change through conversation in this Silver Segment with Queen Sylvia. Today we speak on the thought “Procrastination Disguised As Rest”. Let’s talk about it…

So Listen Listeners! In a world where goals and accomplishments, being busy and productive, where getting shit done defines so much of you, it is essential to have BALANCE! This has become an ongoing theme throughout our creation. When we take rat, it should be a state of reset. Mentally, physically, and even spiritually we need to create the time and safe space for time off. HOWEVER... don't waste time! If you're avoiding what needs to be done, and filling time with mindless thought traps, it's not rest people! Healthy rest creates balance; procrastination that you tell yourself is rest is wasted time. 

This episode's co-host has NOT been procrastinating!! SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO QUEEN SYLVIA on her new brand launch... CREATIVE GLAM BOX!!! Pre-Orders AVAILABLE MAY 8, 2021!

So listen listeners, no matter your outlet please get your message out. Help to rebuild Blackness and think past everything you think you know. Make a change be the change and let’s continue to have these conversations.

So Listen Listeners, don’t be a sucker. Respect the way that both men and women choose to express themselves. Awaken yourself and don’t sexualize every situation possible.

Welcome world! I am one of your favorite creator and hosts DawnTheDoll. This is Episode 22 of Concrete and Blossom Podcast. We are aspiring to create change through conversation in this Silver Segment with Queen Sylvia. Today we speak on the thought “You aren’t who they knew”. Let’s talk about it…

So listen Listeners, You are not your past. You are not your mistakes. And you most certainly are not and don’t have to be the memories someone has of you. Keep growing. Keep allowing others the opportunity to grow. Evolve and develop into your best self. Let that best self be your representative as you walk your path of life. Where others choose to reside and remain is not your responsibility. Just be sure you don’t go where misery and malicious memories are inviting you.

SaintLeo: "I am blessed to still have the passion to do music and perform again, I have a ton of content to talk about and can't wait to share my journey with the world." 

Welcome World! This is Concrete and Blossom Podcast and I am one of your favorite creator and hosts DawnTheDoll. On this episode we talk about music perpetuating violence and impacting the culture as we get to know Dallas based music artist Saint Leo. Let’s talk about it… 

Recording artist known by the stage name SaintLeo, is an American rapper, singer and songwriter from Dallas, Texas. An independent recording artist whose influences are artists such as Scarface, Jay-Z, T.I., Drake, Outkast, Z-Ro, Big Krit, Ice Cube and Rick Ross. SaintLeo started writing songs and poems at the age of 13, shortly after his mother passed of stomach cancer. "I can remember just sitting in my room for days and not talking to anyone and just writing thoughts and rhymes." After taking a nearly 10 year hiatus, he jumped back into the rap scene by releasing EP, Music U Can Feel (2020) and Respectfully, Yours (2020). 

So listen listeners, music is meant to be felt by the soul. When your soul is moved it can sometimes cause that ass to be thrown in a circular motion. We have to understand that there would be an appropriate time and place for that. I said all that to say, be cognizant of the energy of music that you continuously pour into your soul.

Welcome world! This is Concrete and Blossom Podcast. In episode 18 and we found those that Dare Hair! We sit down with Salon owners of TX’s two most major cities – Houston and Dallas – Dominique Shotwell and Victoria Alfred.

-  Allow your hair to breathe (this is possible with weave/braids)

-  Clean your hair utensils and tools regularly

-  Use products recommended by a licensed professional

Listen listeners! You’ve heard it here, two very different experiences and preferences. One thing is for certain, as a previously licensed cosmetologist myself, LOVE YOUR HAIR first. Through all the wigs, braids, units, etc… when you love your hair properly, it flourishes.

Welcome World! It's Concrete and Blossom Podcast, here to create change through conversation. I’m one of your favorite creator and hosts DawnTheDoll and I am kicking off this magnificent Monday with Season 3 Ep 17: Our Voices Have Voted! America has spoken and it’s Biden/Harris 2020, although it’s not everyone’s preferred choice we can all agree it’s Bye then to Donald Trump! Let’s Talk w/ Lady K

So listen listeners, understanding politics is the first step to playing them. Self-education is self-care. What’s important to you? Who can you help put in place to drive initiatives to support policies that are important to you?

Dr. Renee Townsend said “Education is the remedy for ignorance. When you choose to remain uneducated, you fall into a terminal state of stupidity.”

I’sha Gaines - Dallas, TX I must begin by revealing a small snippet of information about myself. First and foremost, I am a multi-passionate creative. It’s my strength and my weakness. I thoroughly enjoy the journey of compilation, facilitating, logistics and organizing creatively. By nature, I have a relentless drive to win that some may classify as a “super-power” and I strive to exhibit excellence in all that I do. My journey to self love has birthed many businesses and essentially has helped me blossom in a way that inspires, encourages and motivates others. Ultimately I provide women, businesses and creatives with the wellness and business resources they need to grow and thrive in healthier ways. I also provide women with plant-based feminine and skin care products through my latest venture Aloe.Curves
