What better way to close out Mental Health Awareness and National Masturbation Month than highlighting the importance of TOUCH to our wellbeing. Receiving inadequate physical contact or touch deprivation leads to serious issues in social connection, communication, intimacy, and mental health. For the past 20yrs, Versandra Kennebrew has dedicated herself to addressing this epidemic as a motivational speaker, healing artist, and holistic health educator. Join me as I interview Ms. Kennebrew to learn all about the wellness of touch. Podcast musical intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzy

I love me some Black folks, but Black America has a MAJOR Problem! It's interesting how money, power, and privilege are essential to maintaining white supremacy but are seen as "tools" of liberation in black men's hands. This ain't no gender wars, it's oppression in blackface. ABUSE IS NEVER OKAY! We CANNOT build community or fight for liberation with individuals who intentionally cause harm or force control. Please don't lose yourself in this toxic, corrupt, red-pill violence on the internet. We deserve a better community/better world that provides support, protection, and accountability.

There are SO many things I can say about the amazing experience that is "Sinners". Coogler and his team did a brilliant job of illustrating a supernatural take on the complexity of living in this country. And with it being Mental Health Awareness Month, I want to explore how it impacts our mental wellbeing. Join Me, as I highlight key points I received after watching the movie. *THIS Episode Contains SPOILERS!! if you haven't seen it yet*
