Happy Valentines Day SOUL Vibrant Fam <3On this national day of Love, I hope you feel and receive it all, regardless of relationship status. Love is such a transformative force that can heal, nourish, and empower us. And between you and me, your host is ready for her own love story. However, I've noticed that we [society] place a lot of expectations on finding it within our lives. So after learning to decolonize love and speaking life into it, I still have questions. Can you find love in the places you hate? Are the characteristics I want in a partner authentic to me? And what is a Soft Man Era?

*For Your Consideration*Although created to maintain "order" in the segregated south, learn about how one small town used a recreational park as a source of Joy. Originally for the Black citizens of Harris County, Georgia, the park's popularity grew to attract visitors from all over the state and even from the neighboring state of Alabama. After its closing in the late 1970s, the park's existence was no more than a memory of those who enjoy it. Until Now!

SOUL Vibrant is Officially Back since I took time to focus on my health. It's bizarre how quickly "My Body, My Choice", "A woman's right to choose", and other various pro-choice attitudes change when the choices go against societal "comforts". Or when the individual reclaiming their right of choice is deemed unworthy, undesirable, or unfit to make such noise. 47 % of physicians underestimate Black patients' pain levels. Black Women face a 3x higher mortality rate compared to other races, and 40% of providers have negative attitudes about patients with higher weight [Fat] bodies.

"GOD is good all the time and ALL the time , GOD is good"It is the final week of Hoodoo Heritage Month—what better way to close out the month than by highlighting my most recently connected ancestor? In Season 1, I uncovered my ancestry and the history of Mack Miller Park. Although I share my journey of discovery, I never talked about the powerful spiritual experience of creating the episode. Until Now. With his Permission I reintroduce you to my Ancestral Uncle Mack Miller. The entrepreneur and businessman valued education, community, and self-actualization. Being a devoted Christian, Mack Miller was not a hoodoo. However, He consistently encouraged the use of my gifts, seeing them As a blessing from GOD to me.

"Where there is a woman , there is magic - Ntozake Shange"For week 3 of Hoodoo Heritage Month, (With her permission) let me introduce you to Mama "EYE". Originally from New Orleans, Mama "Eye" was sold to a plantation in Georgia, where she spent her entire life rebelling and fighting for Black liberation. Coming from a strong line of voodoo women, she used her gifts for healing, guidance, and empowerment. Her essence illustrated how often people confuse hoodoo for voodoo or vice versa. Using the confusion to her advantage, check out how Mama "Eye" taught me to see hoodoo as an alchemy to Never downplay my gifts or my importance.

Love is one of the most desired, misunderstood, and healing experiences that life has to offer. Noticing, throughout my healing journey, everything pulled me back to love. I developed a longing to live a love life and began questioning my own perceptions of it. Inspiring today's episode, I dive further into the conversation of decolonizing our thoughts of love. Influenced by the work of bell hooks, I explore the concepts of unconditional love, self-love, and socialized influences on love. Vulnerably sharing my own experiences, I'm curious about what true, authentic, real love is.

What is the point of learning and acquiring knowledge about our history if we don't utilize it when necessary? The symbolism of Sankofa teaches us to look back at our past to understand our present and navigate our future. During my own reflection, it reminded me of one of the most powerful shows I produced in my radio days. The broadcast discussed the need for balance between good and evil, or positivity and negativity. Much of what is happening today is a direct reflection or mirror of past events throughout the decades. Trust and believe, the current events of this year have left us overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, and grief-stricken. However, the beauty of negativity is that during times of great uncertainty, the most beautiful acts of change can happen too.Podcast intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzyMusic highlight artists:Ledisi ft.

Habari Gani!! In 2014, I took a trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar that began the reckoning of my radical self-love. However, it wasn't just a vacation of sightseeing, good food, and beautiful beaches. I got a crash course on embracing culture, the concept of privilege, and how it contributed to these oppressive systems. Reflecting on current events, I feel we give entirely too much energy to people who refuse to see us as human. Let's work collectively to dismantle, unlearn, and check ourselves to create the best solutions for moving forward. We must invest that time, effort, and energy in ourselves and those who care about us.Podcast intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzyMusic highlight artists:Zo! ft.

Can the real R&B lovers puhlease come to the FRONT?! No other genre of music has enriched my life more than R&B. However, the genre's historical and cultural impact isn't always acknowledged. I'm grateful to welcome internationally renowned speaker, professor, DJ, and author Amani Roberts for a conversation about the influence of Black R&B groups in his new book. R&B groups once dominated the airwaves, Industry, and music business. But what happened? Roberts offers an insider's look into the history, personal stories, and evolution of the genre, spanning from the 1950s to the early 2000s.The Quiet Storm: A Historical and Cultural Analysis of the Power, Passion, and Pain of R&B Groups by Amani RobertsSocial- @amaniexperienceWebsite URL: https://www.amaniexperience.com/Direct Book Link: https://share.google/kriO79bJWuGvFyjoXWhat R&B Group Are YOU!?Take the Quiz: https://www.amaniexperience.com/quizPodcast intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzyMusic highlight artists:RichBrand (Dru Hill-Tell Me remix)Social- @richbrandmusicChloe Martini (Brownstone- If you Love Me remix)Social-@chloemartiniofficial~Lady AC was awarded the Best News and Entertainment Podcaster at the 2025 Women Podcasters Awards.~Follow Me:X: @IAMLADYACIG/Threads: @_iamladyacFacebook: @QueenladyacSubstack: Lady acWebsite: https://sites.google.com/view/andrianah-media-portfolio/visual-media

How You Doing, SOUL Vibrant Fam? I bet that's a loaded question to answer. I want to check in with you. Whether you're grieving, making a way outta no way, or in the thick of your healing journey, I see you trying. I'm here to remind you and myself to keep going. This world needs you more than you know. There is a particular type of work, gift, or presence that only YOU can bring. No wonder the evils of this world work overtime to disconnect you from it. It's your Light, your power even. You must discover, use, and protect it. The beauty that death teaches us is that life is the most precious gift we'll ever experience. In addition, grief teaches us to take time to do the most with it.

It's Summer Time SOUL Vibrant Fam! What thoughts or memories come to your mind when you hear the word Summer? Is it summer vacations, rooftops, beaches, or time with your loved ones? For me, it was my Mama's Homemade Summer School. As a kid, I couldn't stand it lol. But as an adult, I cherish that experience because it developed my intellect to realize its connection to how we function and live day to day. In the growing concern of Anti-intellectualism, we are neglecting to take accountability for our contributions to this issue. Yes, it's a bigger system at play. However, what aspects have we normalized as a society to fuel it?Podcast musical intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzyMusical highlight artists:TERES▲JENEESoundcloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/MSWW6TwhUh1dzIxHPKFull Crate ft.

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.Resources:https://justformenbh.com/https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/men-and-mental-healthhttps://headsupguys.org/Podcast musical intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzyMusical highlight artists:ANTHMYoutube: @callmeanthmCaleborate ft.

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.Podcast musical intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzyMusical highlight artists:Masegosocial- @masegoDangerfeel Newbies ft DAZ-I-KUESocial- @dangerfeelnewbies @dazikue @damhalamaj Y'ALL DID IT!!

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.Podcast musical intro produced by: Leem Lizzy @leemlizzyMusical highlight artists:Kirbysocial- @singkirbysingD'SmokeSocial- @dsmoke7Thank You So Much to everyone who voted for SOUL Vibrant in the 2025 Women's Podcaster Awards!

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.

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.

It's time to reclaim our Angry Black Women and reconnect with our true power. Women specifically Black Women are policed in every aspect of our existence.

It's the season of Fasting, Lent, and Spiritual realignment. But why does it seem, people choose to abstain from things tied to their Pleasure. Pleasure is deeper than sexuality.
