Rashid Darden: Black Gay Quaker & Talks on Intersectionality
<p>Today I interviewed Rashid Darden (one of my Social Media Friends). We had a great conversation about his experience as a Black Gay Man and within the scope of being in a Black Greek Lettered Organization, coming out; as well as Intersectionality in general. We talked about checking our own biases & how it's okay for Black people to question when white people who come into Black spaces. This was such a great conversation and I hope you get something out of it! </p> <p><strong>About Rashid:</strong></p> <p>Rashid Darden is an award-winning, best-selling novelist of the urban LGBT experience, a seasoned leader of Black fraternal movements and nonprofit organizations, and a professional educator in alternative schools. Born and raised in the District of Columbia, he currently lives in rural Northeastern North Carolina.</p> <p>Rashid is the National President of Gamma Xi Phi, the professional fraternity for artists. He is also a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity, the Apollonians, and the Freemasons.</p> <p>Rashid believes wholeheartedly in living an authentic, intersectional life at all times. He is an out, black gay man who has experienced chaos and order, wealth and poverty, urban bustle, and rural peace. He brings to his novels as well as his own life a sense of thoughtful disruption. Ultimately, he believes in the principles of everyday brotherhood—that is, the parts of ourselves which keep us connected to one another in meaningful ways.</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can find Rashid here on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rashiddarden/" target="_blank">@rashiddarden</a> as well as purchase any of his books <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rashid-Darden/e/B007GHUPEQ" target="_blank">HERE</a> on Amazon!</p> <p>Please like, comment, share and subscribe!! </p>

Serina & Zion: A Black Mother with a Daughter who has Joubert Syndrome & is a Pageant Queen!
<p>In today's Episode, I reconnect with one of my best friends from college!! It had been 12 years since we had seen each other. I wanted to cry as soon as we started talking, but I held it in for a few minutes. Once Serina started talking about the first time her daughter, Zion who was born with Joubert Syndrome walked without her walker I couldn't hold it in any longer. We talked about so much on this episode which is why it is so long. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Not only did we talk about Joubert Syndrome; we also talked about her being a Black mother to a child with Super Powers and we discussed her experience with the medical system when finding out her child would be born different.....not only Black & Female, but also with Special Needs. </p> <p><br></p> <p>We discussed Black Lives Matter and that when we say Black Lives do in fact Matter....we're not saying other demographics do not matter. It's okay to talk about race....it's okay to talk about racism....it's not okay to act like it doesn't exist.</p> <p><br></p> <p>To support Ms. Zion & Serina, you can LIKE & Follow their page on Facebook @ <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SpecificallyForZion" target="_blank"><strong>Specifically For Zion</strong></a><strong>. </strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>As always, please LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE & Subscribe!! </p>

Toni Johnson: Women Who Lift Heavy are BADASS! A Woman Powerlifter's Story!
<p>In today's Episode I sat down and interviewed one of my Gym Crew Peeps, Toni Johnson. We go to the same gym, yet have never met since we go at different times. However, I started following her on Social Media when I saw a mutual gym member share a video of her squatting a significant amount of weight. I HAD to follow her because it inspired me so much! Sometimes, when she posts videos I tear up because as women we have often been told it's not okay for us to "be strong." It's "not okay" for us to "take up space." The narrative is changing. Women are TAKING UP SPACE. We ARE showing up!! And we are lifting heavy weights these days! </p> <p>You can follow Toni's journey on IG at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tonij.fit/" target="_blank">@tonij.fit</a>. </p>
