Welcome You! Welcome Me! Welcome All, Back to Rooted with Yams. This is sort of like the "Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself" Episode; and I wish I could promise you that this is the last of this dramatic saga, but I can't. I will say, though, that I am rediscovering myself, my limits, and my strengths. & Moving forward, I am challenging myself to be able to "rediscover" while remaining present and mobile. So, Hello & Welcome. New Episodes dropping soon! rootedwithyams@gmail.com | https://www.instagram.com/rootedwithyams/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rootedwithyams/message

In this Rooted Conversation, I am joined by our favorite co hosts & my girls for life, Andy & Abigail! We discuss what it means to be "a lady" in our minds, culturally, and politically. This episode was inspired by one of our favorite shows on Netflix "Bridgeton", especially Daphne's storyline. Our definition to being "a lady" was around: manners, respectability, and nurturing. Andrelle reminds us in our reflection point that we have all that we need Points of Reflection: 1. Do you regard your virginity as a prize? 2. Do you equate sex with virginity? 3. Does your worth lie in your purity? 4. What does being a lady mean to you?

Rooted Conversation: It's most definitely that time of the year again: Looking for someone to keep you warm on these chill nights? Looking for someone to spend the holidays with and show off to family and friends? Well I'm not. And it's going to be hard to avoid the "Mr.Lonely" mindset, so I just decided to make a playbook and run with it through this brutal, high contact, extreme sport of "cuffing".

This is me pretty much screaming at myself to not wait on "successes", "accomplishment", "titles" or "distinctions" to catalyze you into your purpose. L I V E I N Y O U R P U R P O S E N O W Those other things won't define you or credit you as much as you think.

During our *ROOTED CONVERSATION*, we discussed kindness as I am coming to understand it, and what it looks like to extend kindness to others. We learned that kindness is an action and it must come from a place of concern or empathy, and that's how we differentiate "kindness" with "niceness". http://www.becomingwhoyouare.net/the-true-meaning-of-kindness/ Our *REFLECTION POINT* features a clip from the "Africa in Us Podcast" episode of a Kenyan American digital storyteller (my absolute fave) Evelyn from the Internets!!!!!! {24:40} Highlighted in this weeks *GYNESHINE* segment are: Fafa and Samantha!
