    EP 67: Tamara Knox, Trauma Informed Photographer

    This interview features Tamara Knox, who after surviving from domestic violence years ago, is now accomplishing her goals and dreams. Tamara identifies as a thriver in her community. In addition to being a Masters of Social Work graduate, Tamara (she/her) is an award-winning photographer, photojournalist, mother, published author, business owner, and public speaker. Tamara was significantly influenced by the late American photographer, composer, author, poet, and film director, Gordon Parks, particularly his statement, "my camera is my weapon for social justice.” It's with this spirit that Tamara chose photography and clinical social work to uplift her community. This shows up best through her upcoming book that shows the process of going from surviving to thriving for community members. Tamara uses trauma-informed photography and ethical storytelling to record, preserve, and share these thrivers’ stories. The book will be accompanied by an exhibit at the Russ Solomon Gallery, showcasing portraits of community thrivers and their accounts of changing their narratives.

    EP 65: Rhydell Paynter: Prostate Cancer Survivor & My Big Brother

    Rhydell Paynter is our guest today on MYA and he’s the Chief Network Engineer for the government of Bermuda, but more importantly he’s also a cancer survivor, a proud father, husband and my big brother! He’s a community activist making a difference as a speaker, volunteer and mentor for the Bermuda Diabetes Association and a Prostate Awareness Group called The Daily Male, that provides support for men and their families by promoting men's health initiatives and helping those that are under insured or without insurance to receive screening and assistance with treatment.  Yes, I’m continuing the family conversations this month friends, last month you met our sister Cecelia, and today you have the honor of meeting Rhydell. You’ll note already if you listened to the other interview, that running sophisticated networks and IT operations is a skill and a gift that both my siblings have – and I alas, do not. But today, the conversation with Rhydell and I are going to have will revolve more around our personal connection and relationship and his journey through being diagnosed and surviving prostate cancer, than the work listed on our resumes or Linked In, and he’ll be sharing more about his life journey thus far and how he’s helping to make a difference not just in our family’s lives, but in the lives of many others too.

    Cesar Figueroa is a Transformation Coach that I first met about 9 years ago when we were both teaching and training at a local gym in our area. Cesar and the other personal trainers would sometimes send their clients to my yoga classes to complement their sessions, and Cesar himself would come sometimes too! Today, Cesar is the owner of Ceez Your Life, whose mission and purpose is to improve humanity by inspiring others to CEEZ their lives and dictate the outcomes of their own thoughts, actions, and reactions with the implementation of healthy habits.  He believes in a holistic approach to living a healthy lifestyle and specializes in empowering clients in all aspects of health and wellness which includes the social, emotional, spiritual, and occupational dimensions of life. He envisions one day being able to travel to other countries to conduct wellness workshops and inspiring change that lasts for generations.

    EP 61: Holding the Ladder Steady, with Cecelia Bolden, E-MBA

    My big sister is amazingly accomplished, holding an E-MBA from Notre Dame, and working as the Chief Experience Officer for an Information Technology company in the metro Chicago area. In addition to being an executive business strategist, who was recently interviewed on another show about supplier diversity and cultivating community and generational wealth, she's also a client relationship expert, community volunteer and mentor, a DEIA advocate, and keynote speaker. She's also a proud Mom of two with her partner of 30+ years! In this episode, I interview her to draw out some of her personal and professional stories, and we focus on what Cecelia does best, and that is, helping others. Whether it is in the c-suite, at home, in school, as a volunteer or as a Mom, she wears all the hats, and believes her ultimate purpose is to be in service to humankind.
