"A Life of Ministry" (w/Okema Diaz)
On this edition of Let Me Be Fronk, my long-time hairstylist turned friend and up-and-coming Minister, Okema Diaz, joins the show to talk about her life of ministry, love of people, Juneteenth, and the call she's pursuing.

Her radicalized word addresses colonization in the church, calls out systems of oppression, and encourages others to live a life of love, in pure Christ-like form, as intended. Tune in to hear about Okema's life growing up in the Bronx, going on tour with MILEY CYRUS— yup!, motherhood, all the paths she tried to avoid but eventually ended up on, and her life-calling to help rebuild the church.
