 Today I sat down with my friend and sister Sunny. We talk about accountability,  and how we show up in the world so the right change happens.  Sunny also shares with us our encounter with Harry Belefonte and what he says we should do as leaders to create change. We must get in the room where decisions are being made. Being in the room has allowed her to be apart of the change that is happening. Join us as we attempt to come up with a formula to help each other and ourselves.

Today I sat down with Kelvette Beacham. One of the most amazing people/ performer I Know. We talk about rejection and never giving up! Kelvette is a licensed therapist, a performer, a podcast host and an all around dope chick! Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio she is excited to share her message of positivity and hope using humor and honesty on her podcast The Meanwhile Podcast and through her budding private therapy practice Life Bridge Therapy Services.

Today I Sat down with an amazing Father,daughter team Delisha and Dexter. They blessed me as they shared their story of a fathers healing and a daughters forgiveness. Daughters grab your fathers, fathers grab your daughters.. you DON’T WANNA MISS THIS!! Dexter and Delisha Easley are a dynamic father-daughter ministry team. These two have answered the call to lead and shepherd God’s people from coast to coast and around the world. Delisha Easley is a licensed Evangelist Missionary and Dr. Dexter Easley is a senior pastor of a growing ministry in South Carolina. The two are both authors of numerous books, but their latest book is the foundation of their ministry. God is using them in a time where fatherless homes are commonplace and the independent woman is strongly encouraged to not want or need a man. The Easley’s are living examples that even “broken” homes doesn’t have to mean broken relationships. From a rocky relationship in her teen years to not speaking for three years in adulthood with her father Delisha knew she couldn’t go on in purpose without mending this relationship. The return call is what lead to another five years of establishing a true father-daughter relationship. The two now travel around the world not only sharing their testimony but helping other families mend the broken heart and establish legacy.

On Mothers Day, I sat down with the amazingly talented Darius Harper. Darius Harper - a Boston native Darius went on to study at the American musical and a dramatic academy!
