As season 3 comes to an end, we unwind and reflect on what has been a season that promotes self-care. From topics such as being your own best ally, to showing people who you are, to talking about putting yourself first, each episode was constructed as a building block in the complexity of what self-care is. This season has been a roller coaster of emotions. We had light hearted moments in episodes in which we shared laughs, but we have also had tough but necessary conversations such as calling out and stopping the code of silence on child abuse.
\n\nJoin my guest Brandies Mevaa and I, as we reflect on season 3, and discuss what this season meant to us.

\n\nMy favorite artist and poet is no other than THEE MICHAEL JACKSON. When my next guest and I planned this episode, I couldn't help but think of Michael's song Man in the Mirror.
\n\nThere is a TV show called "What would you do?" When something wrong is happening, even when there are many people around, there is rarely an instance where all the onlookers get involved. This is called the Bystander effect. Everyone just assumes that someone else will do it. I'd take that and go a step further. Either we believe someone else will do it, or we are too afraid of what doing it will cost us.
\n\nNo matter what side of racism we stand on, neither side can be complicit. We gotta change. But what does that mean exactly. Well, our guest on this episode of the delicious truth helps us unpack the why behind our inaction and how we can change.
\nI am so excited to introduce you to André Robert Lee. André is a public speaker ON TOPICS RELATED TO issues OF Anti-Racism, Inclusion, and Diversity for educational and corporate institutions.
André directed and produced The Prep School Negro and took it on a worldwide tour over the past 10 years. He served as producer on the documentary, I’m Not Racist…Am I?
\n\nAndré received a Fellowship in 2013, and was tasked with Directing and Producing the 12-month series, Life Cycles of Inequity: A Colorlines Series on Black Men. he later created The Election Effects Project for Spike TV. André’s next film project is titled, Virtually Free. He directed this story about incarcerated youth in Richmond, Virginia.

People of color are this, white people are that. Any behavior or label in addition to the predetermined label being added is “Unnatural.” And you know how people treat things deemed unnatural.
\n\nThe fascinating thing about this behavior is that humans are constantly evolving and there is so much left to be discovered in the world. What we know about any given thing today is limited to now. That is why labels are such a problem. They are severely limited to whatever was known at the time that the label and subsequent definition was assigned.
\n\nThe result has led us to two kinds of people. Those of us who fight to ensure that “natural” is protected and those of us who fight to challenge what it means to be natural. I think what is better than fighting is embracing “AND,” and leaving behind “OR.”
\n\nIf we only acknowledged the fact that nothing is an absolute we can embrace the limitless possibilities for any and everything. On this episode our guest knows first hand what it means to live within one's labels and to test the boundaries but not shedding them but adding to them.
\n\nDavid has extensive experience strategically partnering with individuals, teams, and organizations to heighten effectiveness by enhancing communication and deepening understanding of the legal, financial, cultural, and/or dynamic issues at play.
\n\nPlease join us as he shares his journey in searching for AND in a World of OR.

Leadership by itself doesn’t actually default to good or bad, it just is. Maybe that’s because good and bad leadership is subjective? I find that odd, but nonetheless, it's true.
\n\nHistorically speaking there have been folks in leadership that have divided the communities and organizations they lead over whether they were good or bad leaders. So what are we to do about it? We think that by getting to the root of what leadership is intended to be and why that matters, we can all be and choose great leaders who make things better for "the whole."
\n\nOur guest Megan Davis Lightman is an accomplished CEO, Independent Board Director, and Advisor with over 25 years successfully partnering with business leaders and boards of directors in some of the most challenging industries, guiding them through critical strategic decisions that deliver transformative impact. That’s right, transformative. Megan is no yes woman. She only works with leaders who want to be great leaders.
\n\nOn this episode Megan will take us beyond basic leadership and into great leadership.
