Dr. Ashani Weeraratna, Ph.D., (https://publichealth.jhu.edu/faculty/3918/ashani-t-weeraratna) is Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Chair, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Weeraratna is also a recently appointed member (by President Joe Biden), of the National Cancer Advisory Board (https://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/ncab/ncab.htm), which advises and assists the director of the National Cancer Institute on the activities of the national cancer program. Dr. Weeraratna is a groundbreaking researcher exploring crucial questions about the role aging plays in cancer and her findings on age-related differences in responses to both targeted therapy and immuno-therapy for cancer are leading to a change in clinical practice. Dr. Weeraratna studies the molecular mechanisms involved in metastasis and how tumor micro-environments affect melanoma progression and therapy resistance. She is interested in how the aging micro-environment guides changes leading to increased metastasis and therapy resistance, as well as cell-autonomous aspects of therapy resistance. Dr. Weeraratna's research also encompasses biophysical changes that affect the ability of both tumor and immune cells to migrate. She has demonstrated that normal age-related changes in the micro-environment can contribute to multiple aspects of melanoma formation and development as well as therapy resistance. Dr. Weeraratna's work in melanoma prevention includes a public health approach. She recently helped lead a campaign to introduce sunblock dispensers throughout Philadelphia and talk to children about the dangers of tanning. Dr. Weeraratna is also the author of Is Cancer Inevitable? which clearly describes cancer's mechanisms and how teams like hers are finding ways to reduce its deadly impacts. The book is part of the Johns Hopkins Wavelengths series. Dr. Weeraratna joined Johns Hopkins University as a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in 2019 from the Wistar Institute where she established her lab back in 2011, and prior to that was at the National Institute on Aging, since 2003. Dr. Weeraratna earned a doctorate in Molecular and Cellular Oncology from George Washington University Medical Center and completed post-graduate training and was a postdoctoral fellow in experimental therapeutics and pharmacology at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, then known as the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center. 

Welcome to another episode of Soul Chat with your host Ebony Tutora from Queens Recognize Queens®. In this episode we discuss her research of women without fathers, and how that affects how they show up in the world- specifically in love. We discuss how accepting love that is easy can be challenging when we've learned that love is hard. There's so many amazing talking points you definitely want to have out your pen and notebook. More about Shade: Shadé is a breakthrough coach and New Earth teacher, dedicated to healing ancestral wounding. Many of you have been doing the work, going to yoga class, reading all the right books, but are still stuck. She spent 10 years working towards her own freedom and created her offerings to streamline that process for you. You can shift now. Before becoming a breakthrough coach, Shadé graduated from Columbia University and earned her Masters in Public Health from Tulane University. She interviewed hundreds of women ages 18-75 and found an absolute difference between girls who grew up with and without their fathers. She gained a profound understanding of the different ways women are wounded by their fathers and then go on to live as if those wounds are the truth. Shadé wrote a book called In Search of My Father about how healing her relationship with her father set her free to experience healthy love and wealth. She toured the country for four years keynote speaking at conferences, high schools and colleges so she could get her arms around as many women as she could and tell them that they are worthy of love. This is her life's devotion: to bring an end to the unnecessary suffering caused by unworthiness. Shadé is an active philanthropist and has raised half a million dollars for her nonprofit, Kids International, in hopes of making a difference in the lives of orphaned children around the world. Shade was honored by Congress for her work and is a Goodwill Ambassador to The Gambia in West Africa. She wakes up every day, trying to be more like Yahweh. In her spare time, Shadé loves to read, talk about health and wellness, teach and practice yoga, and travel; she's been to every continent... except Antartica. Shadé currently lives in Hawaii where she spends most days hiking with Savannah strapped to her back and helping people around the world get free through her coaching programs.

As a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dr. Ashani Weeraratna, Ph.D. has established an environment that challenges researchers and facilitates cancer research. She is an expert on melanoma metastasis, the Wnt signaling pathway, and the effects of aging on melanoma metastasis. Dr. Weeraratna also serves as president of The Society of Melanoma Research. Click on play to learn: What happens to healthy cells that are surrounded by cancer cells. How age-related changes at the molecular level may affect tumor cells. How cells are affected if they are a localized cancer versus a metastatic niche. The Weeraratna lab is known for cancer biology research and is currently studying the molecular mechanisms that lead to metastatic progression and therapy resistance. Dr. Weeraratna has conducted research on the molecular mechanisms and signal transduction pathways to determine what causes cells to become more aggressive and develop into melanoma tumors. The goal is to understand the age-related changes at a molecular level and identify how those changes affect tumor cells making them behave aggressively. Research continues on the effects of the tumor microenvironment on metastasis and therapy resistance. Researchers seek to understand how the aging microenvironment influences metastasis and therapy resistance, specifically in melanoma. In the short term, Dr. Weeraratna hopes to use an inhibitor to enhance the response to targeted therapies in older patients who are not eligible for immune therapy. In the long term, studies are focusing on age-related modifications such as life-style changes and/or medications to increase the chances of surviving cancer. The ultimate goal is to treat cancer as a chronic disease. In December 2021, Dr. Weeraratna's book, Is Cancer Inevitable? will be released. The book includes the personal story of her journey to become a respected cancer researcher. It also discusses the research she has been involved in such as the effects of aging on skin and corresponding changes in tumor growth as well as seeking ways to treat and prevent melanoma.

THE COMMON THREADS TRILOGY: COMMON THREADS ll by L.A. Champagne After Liz McDonald and Joseph Allen are married in the mid-1940s, things go terribly wrong on the family farm in Chatham, Ontario, and there is a great deal of sadness for everyone. Joe and Liz decide to move to Philadelphia, Mississippi, where Joe has accepted a new job designing bridges and overpasses. In 1947, they are excited to begin a new life, especially as they are expecting their first child. But Joe and Liz are unprepared for the outright hostility they face as a mixed-race couple. In this Ku Klux Klan country in the South, it’s not acceptable for a black man and a white woman to be married, and the community holds this against them. A host of trouble follows Joe and Liz through the birth of their multi-racial twins and beyond. Common Threads II, the second book in a three-book series, follows the lives of Joe and Liz who naively try to establish roots in a place where their interracial marriage is taboo. This novel narrates the couples’ trials and tribulations and their experiences with racial cruelty and death. “A tense tale with a complex portrayal of loss, life and love.” -Dr. Joseph Zadra L.A. Champagne is an author from Barrie, Ontario Canada. She lives part time in a wheelchair due to the progression of Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. This is her second book in a series of three.

Champagne It is the early 1850s when thirteen-year-old Ashani tribe member Berko Yaba is snatched from his home in Ghana, West Africa, and placed on a slave ship bound for Jamaica. A short time later, Berko takes a new name, Jed, and reluctantly begins a new, imprisoned life with his shrewd owner. Meanwhile, in Cupar, Scotland, Johnny McDonald is like most teenage boys in his farming community, focused on raising healthy crops and animals. But when Johnny marries Diana and begins farming his own land, things begin to go wrong. Halfway across the world from each other, Jed and John endure very different challenges. As Jed battles the torture of slavery and falls in love with Mary, another slave, John fights the daily obstacles that accompany a life of farming. But when John encounters a disaster that ruins his crops and Jed discovers the Underground Railroad, fate eventually leads both men and their families to journey to a small community in southern Ontario, where common threads tie them together as they become owners of one of the largest potato farms in Canada. In this historical tale, the years pass and the families grow to include multi-racial twins, as events eventually lead a new generation to Mississippi, where everyone must face the sorrows of prejudice. L. A. Champagne was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. She has defied all odds and graduated from Georgian College, Barrie Ontario with an Advertising Diploma. A mother and grandmother, she served 5 years volunteering for RVH Auxiliary as head of public relations at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre, Barrie Ontario, until her condition no longer allowed her to do the job. This is the first book in her trilogy. https://www.amazon.com/Common-Threads-L-Champagne-ebook/dp/B07957ZTNZ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Common+Threads+by+L.A.+Champagne&qid=1609777609&sr=8-1 http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/lchampagne.mp3

Today’s guest is Shadé Ashani. Shadé is an author, speaker, coach and international philanthropist. During her Master’s program, she interviewed hundreds of women ages 18-75 and found an absolute difference between girls who grew up with and without their fathers. She gained a profound understanding of the different ways women are wounded by their fathers and then go on to live as if those wounds are the truth. She developed six archetypes of women and how they relate to men as a result of this father wound - we review them here. Please don’t miss this episode, women, this is prevalent and Shadé brings a fresh perspective to the wholeness and self worth that is possible when we heal the father wounds.

What does your dad have to do with money? Shadé Ashani's life's work has been to figure that out. She's interviewed hundreds of women ages 18-75 and found significant differences between girls who grew up with and without their fathers when it comes to how they experience love, abundance, and money. Shadé's book, "In Search of My Father" explores how healing her relationship with her father set her free to experience healthy love and wealth. She has toured the country for years keynote speaking at conferences, high schools and colleges so she could get her arms around as many women as she could and tell them that they are worthy of love and comfort. Her life's devotion - to end feelings of unworthiness - is truly worth a million.Learn more about Shadé at https://www.shadeashani.com/bio

The way we feel about ourselves as a human being is complex. It's not a case of simply wanting to feel about ourselves in a certain way and it happening. There are often a lot of barriers that we have to overcome to claim our full worthiness, beauty and even divinity. One of the things that can stand in our way of achieving this is an emotional wound of some kind, an experience or experiences we have had that deeply impact our sense of self. One of those wounds is The Father Wound and my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Shade Ashani - is an expert in this area having conducted extensive research and written a book - about the impact of The Father Wound in particular on their daughters. If you, like me, are someone that has had a challenging relationship with their father you may just find this episode comforting and enlightening as well and to know that no matter our past experiences that we can always create a different future for ourselves through conscious choice.
