Kim designed an elective course and exhibition entitled, Fashion and Race, and has shared her insight at SXSW and Google HQ.

They fell in love with fashion. They remixed looks, dressed our favorite characters, ignited the industry, took what others might've seen as scraps and made them beautiful. They carved out a space for themselves. Featuring Jeffrey Banks, Ceci, Romeo Hunte, Law Roach, Letesha Renee, Darnell-Jamal Lisby, Miko Underwood, Brandice Daniel, Jasmine Guy, Connor McKnight, Monica Miller, April Walker, Monica Morrow, Boz Bradshaw and Randy Cousin.    Syllabus:  Throughout history, Black people have always had that “special sauce” that has created a style tradition that is uniquely resourceful and innovative. The book Stylin': African-American Expressive Culture, from Its Beginnings to the Zoot Suit takes us through that history. Black people have seen the influence of their style travel across the globe, and the book, How to Slay: Inspiration from the Queens and Kings of Black Style, provides a complete survey of how we “slay.” We all have a story about that certain thing we wore that made us feel special or seen. Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl's Love Letter to the Power of Fashion inspires us to remember what those things were, and explains how it's vital in keeping our culture alive.  When host Kimberly Jenkins had the opportunity to meet the late fashion legend André Leon Talley, he joined her at Parsons School of Design as she hosted a screening of the documentary, The Gospel According to André, in effort to give Talley his flowers. Fashion veteran Bethann Hardison also has a motherly connection to a “Different World” star referenced in our upcoming episode on HBCU style. How many Black fashion designers throughout history can you name? Podcast guest Elizabeth Way provides us with the much-needed book, Black Designers in American Fashion, as an essential reference guide.  Guest Darnell-Jamal Lisby penned this profile on the admired Willi Smith and speaks about Smith's design approach in this episode. The late designer Patrick Kelly showed Black fashion design hopefuls just how far you could make it in an industry known for being famously exclusive. Which is why we recommend the piece, “Patrick Kelly Was the Jackie Robinson of High Fashion”. A contemporary of our podcast guest Jeffrey Banks, along with the late designers Willi Smith and Patrick Kelly, our profile on Stephen Burrows celebrates the fashion designer who dressed our bodies to dance and move.

About Kimberly Jenkins: Kim attended Arizona State University and Mayo Clinic where she studied Nutrition, Sleep, Mindfulness, Physical Activity, Sustainability and Whole Person Well Being.  After completing work at ASU and Mayo Clinic, Kim went on to study Mindful Based Stress Reduction at Duke University  and Humanities at Harvard.  She returned to the Duke's IM in 2020 completing the Integrative Health Coach Professional Training.  In August 2021, Kim graduated as a FDN-Practitioner and is now board  certified through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. After completing her FDN Practitioner work, she was accepted into the doctoral program with IIOM and will become a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine by the end of 2022. Prior to her own practice, Kim was a nurse with HCA for a number of years working both in both Family Practice and OB-GYN offices.Kim is the founding member of Functional Health Group located in Ashland, VA.  She resides in Ashland, VA with her husband, Ed, a commodity lumber trader for the last 28 years.  They have 3 children, 4 grandchildren, 1 dog and of course, Bobo the fish. Kim practices what she preaches. She is 57 years old, in exceptional health, takes no medication and maintains healthy weight at the low end of the normal scale for her height. She is passionate about educating others about FDN  and the D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success®; Protocols for optimal health so they can live the life they desire"FDN-Practitioner is my professional credential...but your credential isn't "WHAT" you do.  When people ask me what I do, I tell them,  "I help active, health minded, baby boomers get their hands on the functional lab testing and other resources they need to find the missing pieces of their health puzzle & fix what's really wrong so they can get back to feeling like themselves and living the retirement they always dreamed of" In this episode, Adam and Kimberly discuss:What is true health? The problem with fast diagnosis Habits that contribute to your better health  Key Takeaways:Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing - not merely the absence of disease. Don't strive to be “normal”, strive for complete well-being. 15 minutes of talking is not enough to get a complete diagnosis of a person's condition. Doctors often have to think of a solution for your problem quickly, they don't have time to elaborate on why it's happening to you and what you can do to fill the gap. Some just hand out medicine to cover up the symptoms. Small changes are cumulative, just like anything in life. Bad habits are cumulative in their effect but so are good ones. Start where you are and start making little choices that contribute to your better health.  "Start removing one by one - these stresses. We believe that the body has an innate intelligence and if you remove those things from it, it can in fact, and does start to heal itself. You can even greatly improve and in some cases, reverse a diagnosis if you just get very specific to you." —  Kimberly JenkinsConnect with Kimberly Jenkins:Website:  http://www.functionalhealthgroup.org/Email:  kboehm@functionalhealthgroup.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-jenkins-boehm-4b3484174/    Connect With Adam Weber:Website: https://meditationnotmedicine.com/about/Email: adam@meditationnotmedicine.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/easytomeditate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meditationnotmedicine/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPnbji9rDrCfxhY0W8sHL9ABook: Meditation Not Medicine Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla.Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Kimberly Jenkins is one of the most impressive and diverse individuals I’ve ever met. She has worked with some of the most legendary leaders in tech, including Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, was almost singlehandedly responsible for pioneering education software back in the 80s, and has since made education and encouraging excellent female leadership her life’s mission. Kimberly and I cover a lot of topics, including her 3 hour long job interview with Steve Jobs, the importance of being a good listener to leading a company, the current issues in the ‘bro culture’ within tech, what the next president of the United States should make his or her priority, and much more. Enjoy!
