    Women’s History Month Celebrates Michelle Obama

    Women’s History Month Celebrates Michelle Obama

    It’s March, National Women’s History Month when we intentionally recognize the ongoing great contributions women have made to our nation.



    Frankly Speaking with Tyra G is celebrating this month with a twist. We are looking at phenomenal women and how we embrace and manage our universal experiences, our rainbows and clouds, and our courage and resolve.



    We are a journey, not a destination; a process, not an event. Even when we are still, we are motion; loving, serving, nurturing, encouraging, and empowering. We are love and love does. But sometimes, sometimes we get stuck between our no longer the familiar, the habits and our not yet, who we were created to be,  and we may ask the question: “Am I enough?”   



    By the way, the right answer is a resounding YES!



    Our theme this month is: You are more than who you’ve become.



    Across generations, three women of color celebrate Michele Obama and her bestseller, Becoming. Join Emma Allen, Denise Fayne, and Jamella Smith in an authentic and vulnerable discussion about how self-compassion, self-improvement, and self-worthiness, are critical to becoming the person you were created to be.

    Women’s History Month salutes women daring greatly, featuring Helenia Bragg and Kari Galloway and the story of Friends of Guest House

    Women’s History Month salutes women daring greatly, featuring Helenia Bragg and Kari Galloway and the story of Friends of Guest House

    We begin Women’s History and Appreciation Month celebrating phenomenal women who walk into this space through many doors. They willingly share their stories authentically and often vulnerably in order to pay forward what they have learned and to celebrate each other.  Thank you, ladies!



    Irish author C.S. Lewis says,



    “Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: ‘What! You Too? I thought I was the only one.”



    As a result of the women who have agreed to join me at the table, many friendships, although virtual will be forged.



    Author and life coach Iyanla Vanzant says, “Life will accommodate you in any way that you choose. Life is always listening to the silent requests of your heart and mind. Life is always surveying the landscape of your heart, gathering the bits and pieces of the emotions buried there. Life is always monitoring the activity of your tongue, checking for ruins and sacred elements. Life knows that your mind, heart, and mouth will produce the requests of your consciousness even when you are most aware of it.



    Until today, you may not have realized that life is answering your requests. You may not have believed that you have the power and the right to ask life for more than you already have right now. Just for today, be devoted to creating a life of positive, joyful requests. Create them first in your mind. Next create them in your heart. Then speak to them into existence. Be sure to remember what you have created. If it does not show up, check your counter requests.



    Repeat after me, Today I am devoted to creating and requesting what I truly desire to experience in life."



    I met today’s guests a few years ago, each on a separate occasion where their stories were shared, inspired, and begged for more.



    Please welcome Ms. Kari Galloway and Ms. Helenia Bragg to the Frankly Speaking table. Their stories embody lessons not taught in school and affirm the belief that what happens to you is not who you are.

    Women’s History Month Celebrates Service Women of the Vietnam War

    Women’s History Month Celebrates Service Women of the Vietnam War

    Women's History Month is celebrating veterans and active-duty military who keep us and have kept us out of constant harm’s way, often at great costs. Considering this is the year after the 101st year anniversary of WWI, we are reminded that war is a part of human history. My goal is to share diverse war stories across the spectrum of age, gender, and race to include family impact and cultural legacies.



    The Vietnam war was my coming-of-age war. I became immersed in and confused by the concurrent war at home, about the necessity of US involvement, while at the same time grieving over school friends who paid the ultimate price.



    There were so many bold and untold stories. Today’s story although, history is her story. We will hear women who decided to make history instead of reading about it. The Voices of Women in Vietnam is a replay of a weekly National Public Radio show called With Good Reason.



    When I first heard this show, it was such a heart tug I knew I had to share. It includes in their own voices, stories from wives, widows, nurses, librarians who took off their white lace gloves and struggled culturally, socially, intellectually, and physically to build a foundation for our continued gender-based struggles today.



    So, brew a cup of tea, get comfortable and click below.  This show is dedicated to all women, your children, and your children’s children.



    THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, then and now.

    Black History Month: Stories that need telling with guest Colonel Arthur Nick Nicolson Retired, and current president of the Mt.Olive Cemetery Historical Preservation Society

    Black History Month: Stories that need telling with guest Colonel Arthur Nick Nicolson Retired, and current president of the Mt.Olive Cemetery Historical Preservation Society

    The story of Black History Month begins in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson, and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by black Americans and other peoples of African descent.



    By the late 1960s, thanks in part to the Civil Rights Movement and a growing awareness of black identity, Negro History Week had evolved into Black History Month on many college campuses.



    President Gerald R. Ford officially recognized Black History Month in 1976, calling upon the public to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history."



    Since then, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme. The Black History Month 2023 theme, "Black Resistance," explores how "African Americans have resisted historical and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial massacres, and police killings."



    Today in the United States, we hear terms like diversity, equity, and inclusion as goals for our society now and in the future. However, before those words were a part of our United States lexicon, brave, determined black Americans were willing to die to be recognized as worthy of fighting for any rights. The question I leave you with today is how would you grade their success?



    Listen to three stories that were born, lived, and survived in a military setting. Colonel Arthur Nick Nicholson, Retired and current president and executive director of the Mt. Olive Cemetery Historical Preservation Society, is joining me at the Frankly Speaking table this week.

    Rotary Opens Opportunities Through Service: Healing the Wreakage with Dr. Sarah A. John in Haiti

    Rotary Opens Opportunities Through Service: Healing the Wreakage with Dr. Sarah A. John in Haiti

    "It’s true that, depending upon which community to ultimately decide to call a second home, you might just be the only medical professional available to meet the needs of multitudes.  The more remote the community in a developing country, the less likely it is to have a Western-trained medical professional.  You are likely to be very welcomed in your new community, but you should also expect to be viewed as an outsider and treated as such until you’ve established yourself and proven your abilities.  You’ll need to work with the community’s healers and find common ground in the provision of patient care.  Once you’ve proven your worth, you should expect to be working around the clock. "



    The above is an advertisement from Gap Medics. However, it did not take an advertisement for Dr. Sarh A. John to begin serving the underserved. After a life-changing traumatic health crisis and years of restoration, she felt she had no other choice but to share her medical talents differently.

    Join the conversation and hear her compelling story on the Frankly Speaking with Tyra G podcast.
