June is also known as Men's Mental Health Month. And what better way to close out the month than to bring awareness to my fellas. I'm grateful to welcome back Author and Therapist Fulterius King to have a conversation about the therapeutic needs of men today. Society grooms men to measure themselves by the work or the role that play within it. Therapy can helps an individual navigate through this tough journey when they are ready. But remember, Men deserve to take up space, connect to their emotions/feelings, and receive love.

Happy Juneteenth SOUL Vibrant Fam. I love the growing awareness that the community has around this time of year. However, I'm noticing a fair share of misinformation/understanding of the holiday. Holidays like Juneteenth showcase the importance of Black AMERICAN culture and heritage. Our soul food, history, style, and creativity shaped this country in every region. Don't fall for the discourse. I truly want you to celebrate your blackness. But remember that being Black, being Black American is ENOUGH in doing so.

In this progressive age of anti-intellectualism, consumerism, disinformation, and hatred, It is essential to live as our authentic selves. Openly celebrating our creativity, identity, and culture is revolutionary and makes us human. However, being authentic is strenuous on an individual's well-being and self-worth. Especially, when we witness conformity and mediocrity get rewarded. As we celebrate the month of June through Black Music, Pride, Caribbean heritage, and the beginning of summer, reclaim your Ancestral authenticity. Reclaim your COOL.

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*

May is National Masturbation Month and I hope you Cum in peace. Remember our Bodies are Not a Political Playground! Yet, why does society care so much about what we choose to do with it? Lets begin to unpack some of the reasons why the stigma and taboo of sexual wellness exist.
