Alexander Bedward, emerged during 1889 as a minister in the Jamaica Native Baptist Free Church. Throughout the 1890's and beyond, he would emerged as one of the leading christian preachers in Jamaica. Tales of his healing power in the Hope River, his power of prophecy and his proclamation of been a reincarnation of Christ and would ring out throughout the island, the rest of Caribbean region and even as far as Costa Rica. Thousands travel to August Town to be baptised and witness the great preacher in action. Still, Bedward emerge as one of the earliest black nationalists in Jamaica. Bedward called on the black majority to organise and take action against the institution of racial discrimination, socio-economic deprivation, injustice, the tyranny of minority colonial rule that exist on the island. Even though he was respected by the oppressed masses on the island, attracting thousands of followers, he was feared by the upper classes and colonial authorities, who saw him as a threat to political stability that was given even more priority after the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion, which was led by men who were Native Baptist. This image of Bedward by the colonial powers would lead to over 20 years of him been labeled as an enemy of the state where eventually, he was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to the lunatic asylum, where he later died.

Katherine Jansen-Byrkit is Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years in private practice offering holistic psychotherapy. Last year, Katherine published her book, River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness. Her book reflects the human voyage of finding your way to an awakened self. As with a river that traverses steep mountains and winding valleys, our inner and outer worlds can be encumbered by a lack of connection to ourselves, old beliefs, an anxious mind. Each and all of these can interfere with living our our most authentic and loving life. In our conversation, Katherine offers insights and practices on how to live a life of wakefulness.

We are pleased to have Author Patricia Harman back with us on DivaTalkRadio. Her last appearance was 4 years ago, almost to the day, and she returns to discuss the power of optimism and love to overcome the most trying circumstances and times. For many years, Patricia (Patsy) worked as a midwife, delivering babies and caring for women across the US and in rural communes. Her story is encouraging, empowering, and exciting. Patsy has published in The Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health and The Journal of Sigma Theta Tau for Nursing Scholarship as well as alternative publications. She is a regular presenter at national midwifery conferences and her first novel, The Midwife of Hope River was awarded book of the year by the American College of Nurse Midwives in 2014. About her latest book: The Reluctant Midwife The Great Depression has hit West Virginia hard. Men are out of work; women struggle to feed hungry children. Luckily, Nurse Becky Myers has returned to care for them. While she can handle most situations, Becky is still uneasy helping women deliver their babies. For these mothers-to-be, she relies on an experienced midwife, her dear friend Patience Murphy. Though she is happy to be back in Hope River, time and experience have tempered Becky’s cheerfulness-as tragedy has destroyed the vibrant spirit of her former employer Dr Isaac Blum, who has accompanied her. Patience too has changed. Married and expecting a baby herself, she is relying on Becky to keep the mothers of Hope River safe. But becoming a midwife and ushering precious new life into the world is not Becky’s only challenge. Her skills and courage will be tested when a calamitous forest fire blazes through a Civilian Conservation Corps camp. And she must find a way to bring Isaac back to life and rediscover the hope they both need to go on.
