Don't Keep It To Yourself Cherise Shockley

I sat down with diabetes activists, writer, and my good friend, Renza Scibilia to discuss life, social media, the lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the diabetes space. Listen to this episode to find out what my conversation partner could not keep to herself.

Self-care and reflections are powerful if you sit and listen; at least, that's what I've learned over the past year. I had to share my a-ha with y'all.

In this episode, I had the honor of having Arian Smith, my brother and my first best friend, as my conversation partner. We take a trip down memory lane, sharing elementary school stories, his life in the streets, and being married with kids.

Cherise had the honor of having Eric Cobbins as her conversation partner this week. They had a candid discussion about same-sex relationships, mental health, social media, and growing up as a preacher's kid. Eric shared why he wasn't allowed to play monopoly and his appearance on the Arsenio Hall show. Cherise has never had a conversation like this with a pastor, let alone with one on sabbatical.  

"Sometimes people equate blessings to things, and blessings aren't about things."- Eric Cobbins
