Self Determination: Kwanzaa Day 2
Kwanzaa Day 2 is about Self-Determination (Kujichagulia). To define and name ourselves, as well as create and speak for ourselves.
The definition of self-determination is the act of making up one’s own mind about what to think or do, without outside influence. Living under the system of racism means that our thinking is often filled with negative thoughts about our blackness.
Today, remember that you can choose to embrace and honour your cultural values without apology.
If you’re feeling disconnected around your identity, download the Kwanzaa Savers guide to reflect, rise and reconnect to your blacknificence.
Fill Your Cup
Today’s #sundayserenity,
Many of us are dry vessels desperately waiting, hoping and pleading with unavailable loved ones to fill us up. We share our pain, our emptiness and struggle hoping their response will make us feel worthy, whole and nourished.
This painful yearning cycle means our happiness always remains in the hands of others. Unchecked, our unmet needs seed anger, resentment and shame.
As we heal from within, we learn how to replenish our own inner well. In embracing our Higher self and the wisdom of our ancestors, we find an oasis of melanin love, self compassion and confidence that has always been at our core.
Just for today, I will remember that I am responsible for my nourishment, my greatness, my black girl joy. In this moment, I will chose actions that nurture my Highest Self.

Do Your Children Trigger You?
Do you light up when your child/ren come into the room or do you often feel irritated?
Every time the summer break arrives, I hear alot of parents struggling with spending so much extra time with their child/ren.
Is this you? #Nojudgement
For years I secretly dreaded the summer because I knew I’d be confronted with parenting pain I wasn’t ready to face.
In recovery, I learned that the reason my daughter triggered me so much had nothing to do with her behavior.
Every act of closeness triggered the child in me that was unhealed, unheard and desperate to feel loved.
If we’re wiling, our children’s presence can provide powerful opportunities for us to see where we still need healing.
If we want to be mothers who are present and emotionally available, it’s important that our inner/Higher Parent looks after our inner wounded child.
Just for today, I will be mindful of how I talk to my inner child. When I am kind and loving to myself, this is mirrored in how I love my child/ren.

Happy Birthday Dr Francis Cress Welsing!
Today is the wonderful Dr Welsing’s Birthday so I had to give her an ancestral high 5. What better way to honor her than to replay the wonderful interview I did last year to honor her with Gus T Renegade from Cows Radio Show.
Listen up and Be empowered!
I Have Exciting News!
OMG I am so excited, I have to tell you about this recent win! It’s been confirmed this week that I will now be a regular monthly guest on the global panel for the C.O.W.S Radio show with Gus T. Renegade. I have been invited on for the last few months and I really enjoyed it, so this next step makes complete sense. This is a huge opportunity to serve more and spread the message of hope and racial sobriety. I will also be working with Gus on the Isis Papers book club project which is really exciting. I am humbled to be in a position to do this and I’m intrigued to see how this abundant, empowering adventure from RA will continue to manifest. You can keep track of all the radio programs I attend in the ‘Radio Events’ category.
Thanks for sharing this journey with me.
June 🙂

You Folks Are So Kind :)
Greetings! I hope the day finds you well.
I’ve had some lovely messages from some of you on social media, and thought it would be nice to share them here. It’s always great getting feedback because this work is not easy, and I’m always mindful to deliver my best practices with truth and tenderness. When I get the feedback I do, it’s a great reminder that I am on the right track with my vision to serve you. Here are the screen shots, I particularly love the one written in patois. Have a blessed and beautiful day. ?
Errhem….. Guess Who Had Her First Radio Appearance?
Greetings fam, This Is A Yardie First!
I was asked to be part of an international group of callers from outside the US on the Concept of White Supremacy radio show (C.O.W.S) with Gus T. Renegade. It was his monthly Sunday global talk about Racism. I really enjoyed being on the panel and I talked a lot more than I thought I would considering I was so nervous beforehand. I was so conscious of talking too much at one point, I had to shut myself up! We talked about Black History Month, racism and black parenting etc. I also was able to share for the first time about my upcoming book club launch next year honouring Dr Francis Cress- Welsing. You can register your interest at www.theisispapersbookclub.com It is terrifying doing all this stuff for the first time, but I also, absolutely love this process and the transformation I am experiencing being more visible as a black business women. Thank you all for your support and here is the interview recorded on Sunday 16 October 2016. The title of the show ‘Global Sunday Talk on Racism’ here is the replay.
