Honoring life is a profound and beautiful expression of recognizing the immense value in every breath we take and every experience we endure. It's the ultimate acknowledgment of resilience that allows us to triumph over hardships and the grace that carries us through all situations. When we honor life, we embrace not only the victories but also the struggles—the moments of great pleasure and deep heartbreak, the love and the pain—understanding that each encounter shapes the essence of who we are. To honor life is to celebrate the boundless capacity of the human spirit to heal, grow and thrive with the powerful reminder that every life holds a uniquely sacred purpose.In this riveting episode of *Iona Speaks about Defending Self-Justice*, I am grateful and honored to engage in a transformative conversation with Shamere McKenzie (shamere.mckenzie@gmail.com), an international advocate, consultant, activist and renowned speaker. Shamere's story as a survivor of human trafficking has captivated the world and her expertise has been featured in numerous publications, including the 2018 documentary, "False Promises." Shamere shares her extraordinary journey of survival, resilience and the unrelenting pursuit of justice, offering insight into the power of honoring the beauty of life as a representative of divine light in the earth. As you listen, prepare to be moved and inspired as the glory of God flows through Shamere's words, awakening our understanding and appreciation of life through the eyes of a Defender of Self-Justice. 

For centuries, society has viewed substance abuse through a narrow, judgmental lens, often labeling it a moral failure, social incompetence or lack of self-control. This dangerous misconception, rooted in elitist ideologies and systemic viewpoints, caused countless families to suffer in silence, isolated and fractured. It wasn't until 1980, with the recognition of substance abuse as a mental health disorder being identified in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) that eyes of many became wide opened for true healing to begin. Although this determination allowed for true healing to begin for many substance abusers and their primary caregivers, for others who had been suffering for decades there was irreparable damage. In this compelling episode, we sit down with Neil Shovlin, a man, father, and husband of immigrant heritage who courageously shares his family's powerful story of overcoming the devastating impact of substance abuse. Neil opens up about how Al-Anon became the lifeline that helped his family break through harmful societal assumptions, allowing them to heal together. With raw vulnerability, he talks about the faith and resilience it took to push past systemic ideologies that dehumanized those struggling with addiction and their loved ones.Neil's story goes beyond addiction; it's about dismantling toxic, long-standing beliefs and embracing compassion and self-justice. Whether you're a parent, partner, or simply someone seeking truth, this conversation will inspire you to challenge outdated perspectives and see individuals and families as the invaluable treasures they are. Tune in for an honest, heart-opening conversation that breaks down the barriers of shame and judgment, offering a message of hope, love and true restoration from a defender of self-justice. 

In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the profound connection between spirit, soul, and body, diving into what it means to be created in the image and likeness of God. While some say the spirit gives life, and others say the soul breeds life, I believe that the soul compliments the spirit, nourishing and sustaining the body.  There are several scriptures which speak of the soul and how the soul listens and responds because it is part of our spiritual being. For example, it is the prophet Elijah not Isaiah (as I misstated during the recording) who was running away from Jezebel and heard the Voice of God in the wind, as a whisper, of how to move forward in taking the next steps for his life. Elijah's spirit was revived as his soul was refreshed and his body was renewed. Therefore, drawing from Psalm 19:7, which speaks of the Lord's flawless law that refreshes and restores the soul, we are provided space for our journey through the spiritual significance of soul-care.  In exploring the keys to soul-care, I am honored, blessed, and fortunate to have as my guest, Dominiece Clifton (https://movexstill.com/) (dom@movexstill.com). Dominiece is an entrepreneur and somatic practitioner, whose life 's work centers on prioritizing soul-care to achieve a more fulfilling, balanced life for herself and others. During this dynamic conversation, Dominiece vulnerably shares her own healing journey and emphasizes the importance of harmony in our lives. She has eloquently stated, “Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit-the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect on our state of well-being.” Listen in as we delve into the transformative power of soul-care, allowing this conversation to settle deeply into your own soul, learning how to refresh your spirit and renew your body. 

Step into a world of heritage and history as we explore the depths of our ancestry and the stories that shape us. Join us for a heartwarming and enlightening episode where we delve into the power of knowing where we come from and how it impacts our identity and purpose. I remember sitting in the cozy living room of my Great Aunt Mary's home during our annual Christmas holiday celebrations. Laughter filled the air, mingled with the sweet aroma of pastries and the joyful sounds of cousins playing games. Amidst this joyful chaos, I was always captivated by the tales my great Aunts and Uncles shared about our Shinnecock Indian heritage, passed down through generations from my Grammy and Princess Nowadonah.Heritage is like a tapestry, woven with traditions, languages, and stories that hold historical significance. It's a treasure chest of understanding that fills the gaps in our identity and offers us purpose and design. While the beauty of heritage is unique for everyone, the quest to uncover it can be a transformative journey. In this special episode, I am thrilled to welcome Grandmother Edna (Lawrence) Williams, the Founder of A Grandmother's Pilgrimage and The Total Woman (Heal Thyself) Experience (http://agrandmotherpigrimage-queenmothercries.org). As a Sacred Griot (storyteller) Grandmother Edna has traveled across the nation, enriching the lives of children and families with known and unknown stories of slavery, while emphasizing the importance of genealogy. Her passion for educating children and fostering cultural awareness has led her to create transformative learning experiences through original Rites of Passage initiatives.Join me in this life-changing discussion with Grandmother Edna and embark about the invaluable lessons hidden in our heritage from family stories. In her words, “We are opening a Vortex for understanding Heaven.” Prepare for a thought-provoking journey that will inspire you to embrace your own lineage and appreciate the rich tapestry of human history. Fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to explore the depths of heritage and identity in this captivating podcast episode.

Undervalued Heroes reside in the quiet corners of prominent spaces. These heroes don't look for praise or acknowledgement because who they are and what they do is from the heart.  Dedicated and engaged fathers are these heroes, who are underappreciated for the immeasurable impact they have within their families and communities. Therefore, it is my honour and privilege to have an inspirational conversation with one of these undervalued heroes, a father, the Mayor of Motivation, C.Eric Collier. https://www.1momentumshift.com/  Mr. Collier is an award winning public speaker and 3xs Amazon bestselling international author.  His 20 year career in the Intelligence Community as a Veteran of the Army Reserves and US Navy had him recognised and awarded on several occasions for his outstanding leadership skills and abilities.

As C. Eric Collier often says, “lets, unlock potential, breakthrough barriers and Turn the Impossible into Possible.”

Trailblazing Women, are remarkable women of strength and innovation. They break barriers and make history in their prospective fields by inspiring and leading with unwavering determination.  In this episode I am honored to have a life-giving conversation with Dr. LaRay Imani Price “The Resilience Doc” (CEO and Founder of Women's Inner Fitness & Wellness Center, LLC. www.wifwc.com).  Dr. Price is a licensed psychologist, Army veteran psychologist, philanthropist, visionary entrepreneur, and passionate Defender of Self-Justice who walks prominently in her creative awareness to be how she was destined to thrive in God's righteousness.  Dr. Price describes herself as a “mental health advocate, fostering resiliency” where all of us are “healing together”, giving birth to transformative experiences.  In a world that is sick with brokenness, having pioneers like Dr. Price, dedicated to advancing mental health awareness and treatment on their journey of wellness is breathtaking. Join us as we learn how she uses her Acronym C.A.R.E.S.S. (Self-Compassion, Self-Acceptance, Resilience, Emotional Stability, and Social Connection). As a Defender of Self-Justice, her journey is a testament of relentless pursuit of betterment through the power of resilience that makes an indelible impact in the world.  Be inspired, encouraged, enlightened, and uplifted through this episode as we celebrate mothers in the month of May.

Historically, April has been denoted by our nation to focus on children and youth who have been abused in various forms (i.e physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, spiritual, etc.).  Children, youth, and families who have been unseen by the masses because their pain has been silenced, continue to thrive through collaborative efforts by champions who refuse to allow their voices to be unheard and their abuse to be unseen.  There are numerous scriptures that speak of how God hates abuse, deplores oppression, and charges All creation to love Him and those created in His image.  In this episode we have a conversation about the responsibility of transformative thinking that produces holistic strategies towards mental health so that the afflicted can be elevated together.  I am honored and privileged to have this life giving discussion with a long standing colleague of mine, Denielle Randall, LCSW-C.  Denielle has an entrepreneurial mindset where she is the founder and CEO of "Elevate Together, LLC".  The vision of Elevate Together is welcoming and growth producing as it's "Validating individuals' feelings…to help open your gifts and talents that will lead to you reclaiming your purpose and knowing that you got this.

What better month than Women's History month to speak about a mother's heartbeat.  Within the symphony of life, there is a rhythmic cadence of a mother's heartbeat that is a beautiful melody. In the tapestry of life, this melody speaks volumes.  It is a constant rhythm, an eternal love, a powerful strength, a posture of resilience, and warm comfort.  Before the existence of time, it was determined which children would spring forth from the sanctuary of each womb.  From infancy and beyond there is an undeniable soul connection that is profound and unwavering.  Therefore, in this first episode of the 5th season in Iona Speaks about Defending Self-Justice, join me in a conversation of sincerity  with a dear friend, Billie Partlow.  Billie is an esteemed educator with an illustrious career. She speaks of the endearing bond she shares with her son and daughter and how her purposed commitment towards them and her prayers for them resulted in purposeful journeys, leaving an impact and creating a legacy. 

In the mind of our creator, Almighty God, we were perfect.  Yet because of one choice made, outside of His design, through manipulative and deceptive language, trauma entered into existence.   Therefore, we are perfect creations in imperfect bodies, living in an imperfect world, using restorative practices to heal from the trauma we were born into, the trauma we live in, and the trauma we have experienced. Since we all were created to be perfect, in the image of God and God is the ultimate leader of this universe, we were all created to be leaders. However, through time and free-will decision making, we lead through a capacity of trauma.  Thus, It is important for adults and youth to effectively and qualitatively lead through a posture of understanding individual, historical, and collective trauma. So in this final episode of “Iona Speaks about Defending Self-Justice,” in 2023, listeners are invited to a dynamic and insightful conversation with Dr. Durryle Brooks, CEO and founder of Love & Justice Consulting LLC (https://www.loveandjusticeconsulting.com/ ).  I am both honored and blessed to have this enlightening dialogue with Dr. Brooks, a native of Baltimore who leads through a posture of trauma with grace, knowledge, and healing.  Also, Dr. Brooks uses his education, heritage, and life experiences to provide executive coaching for individuals, corporations, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations.  In this discussion he explains, “Emotional Emancipation,” and poses the question, “When we do take on self-care in a much more radical act, it invites us to consider what…part of my socialization has me not to want to be quiet and sit in silence…or to be present that I have to be so busy in doing something all of the time?”  Do not miss listening to this podcast, as we round the corner for 2023 and look ahead to Season 5 in 2024.  Let us be intentional about being the leaders God created us to be, exercising His dominion, as we learn about how there is value in trauma.  

Whether it be physical, mental, spiritual, or psychological, healthcare is essential to the lifestyle of every human being in this world.  For centuries there have been disparities in how adults and children, men and women, races and ethnicities, as well as chosen lifestyles, and forced lifestyles through abusive situations are provided healthcare.  When we speak about receiving emergency healthcare, there are a variety of emotions experienced across the spectrum of peaceful contentment to extreme anxiety.   Have you experienced one of these emotions?  In my lifetime, from an adolescent I have experienced different levels of anxiety when entering into an emergency room.  Therefore, I am honored and privileged to engage in an empowering conversation about emergent care with a world renowned and highly esteemed emergency care physician, Dr. Sharon Waters.  A native of New York, currently practicing in the Atlanta, Georgia region at Kaiser Permanente, Dr. Waters helps to dispel some of the myths of emergent care by explaining how emergency room care should be provided.  Listeners will receive vital information about expectations when entering a hospital emergency room as Dr. Waters expounds upon her 3 C's of care delivery, Check what's life threatening, Care and treat the situation, and Call for any additional care needed.    So as you listen to this podcast episode, be open-minded and open-hearted to what you will hear. 

There is a beautiful, complex, and transformative bond between daughters and their mothers. Some relationships are close, some are stagnant, some are distant, and some are even nonexistent.  In celebrating these unique relationships filled with triumphs, love, challenges, lessons, and a multiplicity of memories, the mother daughter relationship is to be cherished.   Through tough times and growing pains, healing in this powerful bond brings emotional validation.  The journey of this relationship lasts a lifetime.  In this episode, listeners will hear a remarkable story of how a mother risked everything, her family, her home, her life, for the safety of her daughter. Hear from Amy M. Le, CEO and Founder of Quill Hawk Publishing (https://quillhawkpublishing.com/) as she takes us through this beautiful journey of a Daughter's Love.  Amy has received several Literary awards such as Firebird for the Snow Trilogy, while being a national and international bestselling author.   So sit back, take a deep breath, and open your heart as we delve into a descriptive journey of love through trauma from Saigon to Seattle. 

September is nationally recognized as Hispanic Heritage month.  The theme of 2023 is "Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America".  What a powerful dynamic it is for individuals to know and understand their culture in order to promote their contributions to the educational, economical, political, and social growth of the United States.  However, is culture limited to just a specific heritage?  As we enter into the Fall season, this episode wll be focused on how beautiful memories can set every human being onto a trajectory of making an impact within their sphere of influence and beyond that is connected to WHO and WHAT they were born to be.  These impacts are intergenerational and help add substance to the fabric of our nation as we continue to heal and grow into God's ordained creation.  Naomi Rudisill-Burrell is a Black woman of African American and Native American descent.  Her culture of identity is not just defined by her heritage but also through her choices.  She has a rich history with twists and turns that have led her to soar like an eagle as a professional woman.  Although she experienced abandonment as a child, this did not hinder her vision of life because she was covered with abundant love and support through a great community of extended family.  As you listen to this heartwarming episode, may you feel Inspired to be a Defender of Self-Justice as God has created you to be.  To see all that Naomi is doing you can connect with her through Facebook  MissBeInspired and Instagram missbeinspired  

In 2022 the Administration on Community Living (ACL) published a report on the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers  2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers.  This report was created to demonstrate the need for more bolstered and ethical practices to support the multimillions of caregivers in the world today, who are unpaid.    Increasing disabilities from sickness and disease can be debilitating for diagnosed individuals, their primary caregivers, immediate family members, and household members. During this episode, listeners will hear an intimate conversation with Karla Jackson, a primary caregiver for her husband of 30 years.  This vulnerable discussion brings enlightenment to how some legislative efforts and insurance plans, intentionally designed to be helpful have unfortunately become harmful.  Proverbs 13:12 declares "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life." Listen how  Karla's testimony is a revelatory journey into becoming a Defender of Self-Justice. Her story is impactful, enlightening, encouraging, and inspiring to those with and without hope. 

Being a Defender of Self-Justice is not a "catch phrase" or an after thought but an intentional divine posture of identity.  A defender is someone who can be defined as a protector, a guardian, a steward, and a champion for what is right.  Simply put, the Defender of Self-Justice is a preserver of the righteuous gifts God has orchestrated within each of us that dictates how we should live, regardless of situations we might encounter.  In this episode, listeners will hear the blessed testimony of a connection between our guest, Ms. Tina Pollard and her twin sister.  This relationship is powerful and great that begins, ends and flows through one heartbeat.  Listen how Tina shares about the synthesis of the twin connection and the beauty of this relationship.  Even though she and her twin shared the same birth sac, she explains how they were also uniquely made to be the trustees of the gifts that God individually created within them.  

In the last episode, we unearthed another perspective of motherhood as it relates to infertility.  Since there is so much to discuss about this topic, we wanted to share more.  In this episode, we begin to delve into Michelle Browder's sculpture , "The Mothers of Gynecology," that was unveiled during the month of May in Montgomery, Alabama.  This sculpture highlights three emerging adults (Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey https://www.anarchalucybetsey.org/), who were African Slaves in the 1800s and had their human rights stripped away from them to be grossly experimented on in the name of "Science" by Dr. James Marion Sims.  Listen to this rivoting conversation about how the unspoken testimonies of 3 identified "Divine Appointed Image Bearers" help to reframe the truth about historical patterns regarding the healthcare of Black Indigenous women of Color.  Kathy Bruce, a familiar guest of this podcast and host of "Kitchen Table Conversations with Kathy", uses her gift of navigating through the systemic weeds of racism to bring light and life to this story and other stories, whose silent testimonies birthed out of brutality, bless us today.

On September 24, 2021 in Montgomery, Alabama, a 15 foot high monument was unveiled entitled, "The Mothers of Gynecology", bringing enlightenment to and exposure of the  horrific and torturous true practices of Black enslaved women (Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey: https://www.anarchalucybetsey.org/) by Dr. J. Marion Sims in the 19th century.  Nationally acclaimed artist, Michelle Browder, with contributions from nationally acclaimed artist, Deborah Shedrick used discarded, damaged, and recycled metal to design this monument, depicting the beauty and value of  Black, Indigenous Women of Color.  This monument, in the intricacies of its creation, reveals that although the physical body of a woman might be broken and discarded, their spiritual body is Full of life and reproduction.   In this episode you are invited to hear the expressive journey towards motherhood from an amazing woman, Jesaira L. Glover, owner and CEO of "Create Your Own Oasis" (https://www.createyourownoasis.com/)  as she shares pieces of her life. 

Grief is a journey that we will all experience in different capacities. Pain and joy can coexist in grief because when there is a loss of a relationship, a person, or even a situation that impacts individual functionality the intense emotions cannot be simply defined. Yvette Nicole Brown, award winning actress in speaking about the grief she experienced during the death of her mother says, “Grief is always equal to the love….It is an honor to be this destroyed.” This statement helps to explain the parralled power of joy and pain in grief.

"The breath is a river crashing into the mountainside until there is a hole large enough for history to come through." This poetic phrase written by Shanda Buchanan speaks volumes about the force and nature of the power we hold in our breath. Breathing in is just as important as exhaling. We can breathe in a multitude of emotions, scents, and ideas yet we can't forget to exhale our streghths, gifts, and purpose. In this 1st episode of season 4, you are invited to hear the vulnerable threads of one of my journeys that expresses the truth of who I am. We all have a journey that was expertly handcrafted just for us that is powerful and beautiful in the midst of pain. So take a deep breath as we go on this journey together throughout this season.  

There are so many stereotypes and stigmatizations on the greatness of Black Love because we don't see it celebrated as much as it should be due to a variety of reasons related to historical trauma, false narratives, misrepresentations, and the choices of not shining the light.  In this episode, listeners will hear an open discussion on the beauty of Black Love and Friendships that will help women and mothers defend the covenant of their marriage, make the choice of how to enter into this covenant of marriage, and how to feel empowered in deciding what Black Love and Friendship means for them.   Invited to this episode are my husband, Ronald S. Rudisill and our good friends, John and Kathy Bruce, who have chosen to stay together in a healthy relationship for 45 years. 

From the beginning of time, women have been used to birth nations, settle establishments, pioneer new frontiers, be impactful influencers and bring forth life into the world. There is richness in the stories of women and mothers, who make achievements for their children not just for now but for generations to come through intentional movements in the midst of suffering and despair. Hagar is a woman of such richness that often has gone overlooked and misunderstood by scholars. Join me in a riveting conversation with Jeanna Byrd, a dedicated advocate for herself, her daughter, her family and hundreds of women who have been misunderstood. 

Children are not just our future but they are our now. They were created in the image and likeness of God for Greatness. Therefore, it is important for us as women and mothers to help craft their minds with accurate information that can help them see who they are, what they can accomplish and what can be accomplished through them, regardless of their circumstances and situations.
