    Going Through Hell with Star of ‘Lucifer’ Lesley Ann Brandt

    Generational curses cannot be broken overnight. In fact, most milestones, epiphanies, and accomplishments are not often achieved without a bit of strife/obstacle.

    This week, we are joined by activist, amazing mama, and the talented actress playing the character "Mazikeen" on Netlfix’s drama, ‘Lucifer’ Lesley-Ann Brant.

    Lesley-Ann shares what it was like to grow up in South Africa during apartheid and how that has informed her identity both on and off the screen.

    She reminds us that life is a balance between both the good and bad and urges us to make peace with the pendulum swing of life.

    Accepting The Dark Sides of Myself with Lorraine Toussaint

    “The darkest part of ourselves have to also be made known to us”
    Lorraine Toussaint

    This week we are joined by the talented actress and writer Lorraine Toussaint to discuss the importance of being unafraid in EVERY aspect of our identity and the transformative healing that occurs once you forgive your inner child.

    Lorraine shares the pivotal introspective healing she was able to accomplish while playing the character “Vee” from Orange Is the New Black. She encourages us all to explore the parts of ourselves that we run away from and often suppress because it’s too “dark” or “shameful”. This episode explores the idea that the most difficult parts of our lives are always the most responsible for our evolution into strong dynamic individuals.
