Why You Say That Jazz Radio

Why You Say That Jazz Radio

By Jasmyn Henson

I created "Why you say that Jazz Radio" to express some deep rooted frustrations I didn't always have the heart to speak on. God told me to record it and I've been going ever since. Through voicing my raw emotions, I learned that others felt the same and encouraged me to keep going. This was confirmation I was in alignment with my purpose. The very thing I was scolded for coming up became the very thing that would empower myself and others. I voice my views on generational curses, depression, religion, spirituality & sexuality. I intend on sparking uncomfortable conversations.

Fighting "The Spirit Of Depression"

Fighting "The Spirit Of Depression"

I spent half of my life depressed. I missed out on major opportunities due to depression. I finished school late due to depression and I lost a lot of people I loved due to depression. Tonight, I lay to rest my fight with depression. You can and will overcome the spirit of depression. Hosea 4:6 says 'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". We are not knowledgeable on The spirit of Depression and it's "companions". Here's what I learned about depression through my own personal struggles with it

Healing requires a certain level of honesty. I just came out of an intense season of "grief & devastation" where I learned that it was indeed my errors that got me there in the first place.
