Meet Our Guest: Speaker, Influencer, Emotional Disruptor and Author who is passionate about informing and inspiring men of color that they were created to love and display emotions despite their life struggles. Teaching men of color that the walls around their heart can be slowly removed by having an open and trusting mindset that love does exist in all aspects of relationships, be it romantic or platonic. Encouraging men of color that each person that have hurt them or anyone they have hurt are imperfect human being with feelings going through similar struggles with a guarded heart. Understanding and experiencing that men of color take heartbreak extremely hard especially when they have tried their absolute best in a situation that did not come out the way that was expected. I am Olavé Sebastien, a man of color who has been hurt and chose to turn my pain into my passion. I found my purpose when I decided to embrace my vulnerability as a strength instead of a weakness and start writing and sharing my heartfelt poetry with family and friends. The authentic feedback I received caught me by surprise but also gave me confirmation of what was already being placed in my heart about my purpose and path. By creating a world in which men can feel safe and confident in speaking about their emotions without care, worry, doubt, or fear. It begins with having simple and subtle conversations in a world in which people can be confident in embracing the euphoria that love brings and is not equated with weakness.

BLACKTOPIA is an artistic expression for the LOVE of everything BLACK. BLACKTOPIA is a realization that everyone in the world is connected and affected by embracing the importance of BLACK EQUALITY. I am a BLACK woman living in New York City. A few years ago I was having some passionate, candid and oftentimes uncomfortable conversations with friends and family about being BLACK in America. As I was walking back home I started thinking about what real change would look like. What would be the result of a major societal turnaround, a long steadfast change in all systems about what it means to be BLACK in America and the rest of the world? Then BLACKTOPIA popped into my head. The first thing I did was Google it to see what the results would be. I just could not believe how misunderstood this term was. A word that, in reality, defines that the Essence of everything BLACK is Perfect! I felt like I had an epiphany, an ah-ha moment. I was thinking about all of the things I could write, create, and design. This T-shirt line is my first step in bringing to life the positive messages of change that I would like to see in the world. Now everyone can Think, Believe, and Appreciate BLACKTOPIA.

On This Episode of The Beautiful Butterfly Radio Show We Welcome Special Guest Author I.Y. Wade the Author of " Warriors of The Wasteland" & "Interviewing God". Joins us as you will have the opportunity to get to know this Author, the Motivation behind his two books and More!! Meet Our Guest: I would say my story is pretty much the same as anyone growing up in ghettos of America. I grew up fast and hard. I was exposed to sex, drugs, and violence at an early age, all of which became the norm for me. Like most writers reading was my oasis. Although I officially dropped out of school at the age of 16, I actually quit going in the tenth grade at the of age 15. It was reading that enabled me to expand my vocabulary as well as enabling me to put my thoughts and words onto paper. I penned my first novel some 19 years later at the suggestion of a police officer from a local precinct. That first work is titled "WARRIORS OF THE WASTELAND". In my opinion, while it does contain similar scenarios to many stories in the "Urban Lit" genre, I believe this tale will resonate with many readers due to its message of Black empowerment and self-determination. I followed that novel up with a Christian fiction called "INTERVIEWING GOD". I was purposely intent on going in an opposite direction of my first work. This story chronicles the journey of an atheist that God has summoned to Heaven for a face to face. I'm currently working on my third work, a motivational book! Thank you to all the readers who have supported me! If you'd like to order you copy you can do so @www.166publishing.com
