In this episode, I offer some reflections on the state of women's empowerment, where they have been, and how far they can go. How are you celebrating being a woman, or celebrating the women in your life? Share your perspectives, and let's continue this conversation. 

This episode was originally recorded in October of 2021 as my reflections on 'Critical Race Theory' (or CRT in short), as we were getting ready to vote in local elections in November, 2021; and there was a question on people's minds as to whether CRT should be mandatory as a class taught in schools from K-12 public schools, public colleges and universities and at public medical schools. I shared my perspectives on this often uncomfortable topic when it comes to race in America, and what we need to do to work toward racial equity, reduce racial fear, and disrupt biases in the education, communities and the workplace.

For those who may not know, Black History Month (BHM) started as a way to remember the history of the African and Black diaspora, and is celebrated in February of every year in the United States and Canada. How do we elevate the 'Race in America' conversation? By having a conversation about racial equity and other diversity issues.

In this episode of BEChange Podcast, I’m chatting with Linda Bonnar about her new book: JUST THREE THINGS: Bite-Size Ways to Transform Your Life, and how we can all create meaningful transformations in our lives by making small changes, while reducing overwhelm. We also talk about what is known as Impostor Syndrome, and how to overcome imposter syndrome thoughts when they flood our minds.

In today’s episode, I want to explore a topic that I’m hearing more and more these days, especially as we are getting ready to vote again in local elections this November 2nd, 2021. The topic that’s being talked about in schools, media and political spaces is called Critical Race Theory (or CRT in short), and whether CRT should be mandatory as a class taught in schools from K-12 public schools, public colleges and universities, and at medical schools. I share my perspectives on this often uncomfortable topic when it comes to race in America, and what we need to do to work toward racial equity, reduce racial fear, and disrupt biases in the education, communities and the workplace.

How do you find peace from within, when your inner child is being difficult? There are many ways your inner child acts out to get you to pay attention. It may be through being jealous, judgmental, fearful of rejections, self-doubting, hateful, depressed, angry, rebellious, and other inner turmoil feelings.

In this episode of Evolving Talk Series Podcast from last year, I shared some insights on why it’s important to look inside of ourselves and heal our inner wounds. Your outward reaction is usually an indication of how you’re feeling on the inside and shows you how much of a deep wound your inner child has suffered. Take the the time to address your inner wounds to heal from within.

In this special episode, I want us to explore the recent news of a COVID-19 vaccine, and what it means to some communities of color, particularly the African American community. In the last couple of weeks, two biotechnology companies came forward with news of a COVID-19 vaccine, saying that it is more than 90% effective. As many states are beginning to work on how to distribute COVID-19 vaccine once it becomes available, it’s also important to acknowledge the public trust or lack of trust, when it comes to vaccination, and particularly with regards to vaccinating African Americans' experiences.
