As they say, “You are not one-dimensional & neither is your purpose.” I first found Jas on the inter-webs in 2021 when she was talking a lot about money, failure, human design, and god. I was captivated by her lens that she expressed herself through, and found myself back to her and rediscovering her offerings as she molted and metamorphosized.   In our episode today, you join us as we just begin our conversation. We talk about — the south node / north node, GOD, family, relationships, philosophy, Human Design, mistakes and “failure”, burnout, slowness, moving through versions of self, and Tea.  Thank you Jas for your rawness, your presence, and your softness!

“[Grief] breaks us open, which we may not expect. There's some allowing that has to happen. I'm going to allow this to break me open, to grow a new heart, to connect with people in a more meaningful way, to live a life that's more authentic. I think the breaking open, while it can be hard and scary, speaks to grief as a generative force and the ways it can deepen and enrich your life.” - Naila Francis In this week's episode, our season finale, we reflect on our conversation with Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Nnenna Freelon. We look at a moment that landed very differently for each of us during that conversation, sharing our takes on why we thought her candid retelling of her husband's final days should and shouldn't have been cut. We have fun recalling some of the signs our dads send us to let us know they're near, including the songs that bring them closer to us — don't worry, we spare you the actual singing of them. And appreciating Nnenna's affirmation of each griever's unique experience, no matter her own wisdom from walking the path, we talk about what was most helpful to us in the immediate aftermath of our losses. We also unwrap what her phrase “Anger doesn't store well” means to both of us and the place anger has in the spectrum of grief. And given that this is our season finale, we do look back on the podcast's evolution and the conversations that have brought greater depth to the season. We hope you agree, and that as usual, you find room for your own story as you listen in.

“It's healthy, I believe, to touch these places. I don't know how you can touch your love place without touching your grief place. They're both there. They're layered on top of each other and your joy place. They're all there, and when we  shut down, we shut down all the good stuff, too.”  ~Nnenna Freelon In this week's episode, Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Nnenna Freelon takes us on a journey through her many realms of grief. As compelling a storyteller as she is a performer, Nnenna candidly reflects on her ongoing evolution as a griever since the deaths of her beloved husband Phil and sister Debbie. She shares how she has turned to creativity, including her music, not only as a grief practice but as a way to stay connected to Phil, why she's mindful of the words she uses when talking about grief and loss and how embracing grief as a teacher is transforming her dance with this ever-shifting experience.

Our service this morning is led by Dave Dodd, an elder at our church, with guest speaker Nnenna Kalu. Nnenna's address is titled "The Greatest Gift" and the scriptures read before the talk are taken from John 6: 47-59 and Deuteronomy 30: 11-16.

Today I speak with a spiritual philosopher & the founder of Erah Society. Jas is a practitioner of Human Design, Astrology & the Gene Keys, and she supports creatives, entrepreneurs and renaissance humans in understanding themselves more holistically. She is also the host of the globally celebrated podcast, Counter Culture. In today's episode Jas and I explore human design and how it relates to food and digestion. Jas explains that human design is the study of our unique selves. She believes that through understanding how our bodies and minds best function, we can gain more authority and sovereignty over our lives. Jas discusses the determination/digestion variable in human design, which refers to the ways in which we best take in, process and absorb not only food, but also information and energy. She explains how when we feed ourselves—physically, emotionally and spiritually—in a way that best supports our design, we can better access our full potential.This conversation is so expanding, whether you're familiar with human design or not.  You'll leave with a new perspective on how we are all so unique, and how we can gain more authority over our lives by better understanding (and honoring) our unique selves.*Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/human-design-food-and-digestion*Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore/* Find Jas on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erahsociety/ , https://www.instagram.com/jasnnenna/* Erah Society Newsletter: https://erahsociety.substack.com/* Discover your own human design with a Soul Map: https://erahsociety.com/soulmap* German New Medicine: https://learninggnm.com/* Counter Culture podcast: https://www.jasmoon.space/podcast* Vaness Henry (Human Design): https://www.instagram.com/vanesshenry/ Get full access to Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD at mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/subscribe

Reverend George Kalu leads our Christmas Morning Celebration service with the address given by Nnenna. Scriptures read during the service include Jeremiah 31 : 15; Hosea 11 : 1 and Matthew 2 : 1 - 18.

INnenna Onuoha speaks with Alain Gomis about his latest film REWIND & PLAY (2022), which she encountered last month at the New York Film Festival. REWIND & PLAY follows American jazz pianist Thelonius Monk on a 1969 trip to Paris. Monk is in town to perform at the Salle Pleyel, and along the way becomes the subject of a French television program. Rewind & Play unfolds exclusively from the recovered rushes of this recording. And from this single event the film unravels complex subjects including the media's objectification of Monk's celebrity, and its simultaneous refusal to recognize his full humanity.Throughout the interview, we witness painfully, how Monk's responses, unsatisfactory to his interviewers, are dismissed, spoken over, and edited out. Yet, with a masterful delicacy, the film inter-cuts shots of him playing the piano, allowing his music to assert itself and interrupt the unbearable media machine that has attempted to enfold him. In the conversation, Nnenna speaks with Alain Gomis about his interest in Thelonius Monk, and how he handled the challenges of representation in the making of this film. The conversation wraps up with some practical advice about how to honor one's creative vision as a filmmaker, in what can sometimes be a very demanding industry.We hope you enjoy the conversation. For show notes visit docsinorbit.com and be sure to follow us on social media @docsinorbit for updates.

Anita shares an episode of a podcast produced by her colleagues that gets her teary every time she listens (but in a good way). “Black Widow” from the podcast Great Grief features Grammy-nominated musician Nnenna Freelon reflecting on what's changed for her in the years since her husband Phil's passing.

In this interview, I spoke with Sarah Nnenna Loveth Nwafor about their latest publication Already Knew You Were Coming. We discuss Igbo cosmology and time, vengeance poetry, their process in writing this chapbook, and more. Sarah Nnenna Loveth Nwafor (They/Them) is a queer Igbo-American Poet, Educator, and Facilitator who descends of a powerful ancestry. They believe that storytelling is magick, and they speak to practice traditions of Igbo orature. When they witness, their forebears are pleased. Sarah has been writing for a minute and is learning something new about their voice each year, but one thing they're proud to share is that they have a chapbook out with Game Over Books! When Sarah's not writing; they're probably sitting under a tree, reading about Love, dancing with friends or cooking a bomb-ass meal like the true Taurus they are.

How do we send messages across The Great Divide? In the final episode of Season 1, Nnenna and Phil try to communicate with each other in the same way that they've always loved each other: beyond space and time.

Nnenna Freelon's beloved husband Phil died in July of 2019. Six months later her sister, Dr. Debbie Pierce, also died. Then, COVID hit the United States. During this dark winter, Nnenna was exhausted, but she also couldn't rest. She tried everything and nothing worked. Eventually, she realized she needed to listen.

The time is now for spaces that advocate, cultivate, and share our health and wellness stories of black women globally. And my guest for this episode has enriched this space with powerful dialogue and stories that leave a lasting impression and inspire women to champion and prioritize their own health and wellbeing. In this episode of The Sub-Saharan Beauty podcast, I'm joined by Nnenna Kalu Makanjuola, the founder and editor-in-chief of Radiant Health Magazine, a bi-annual print and digital magazine for black women. Their mission is to tell our own health stories and inspire Black women to live their healthiest, happiest, and most meaningful life.

In our conversation, we talk about the pivotal moment when she decides to launch the Radiant Health Magazine (RHM) without any prior publication experience and her entrepreneurial journey/evolution with RHM. From its inception to today, RHM has shifted from a more niche Nigerian audience to a global audience inspiring and championing Black women everywhere. While previous additions Nnenna uncovers some of the intentional decisions she has made with the publication, including the choice to use everyday women as the cover story vs the traditional celebrity covers. She shares why this was her way of keeping the authentic voice of the publication and also a means to ensure that black women are represented authentically. Episode Timeline: • [3:29] Nnenna describes her personal and professional background with health and how they influenced the birth of RHM. • [12:28] The entrepreneurial journey to starting Radiant Health Magazine and the learning curve for launching a digital and print publication. • [15:39] How the magazine shifted from a more niche Nigerian audience to a global audience inspiring and championing Black women everywhere • [21:29] The importance of representation and advocacy of black women in the health and wellness space • [26:00] The stories behind Nnenna's favorite issues including her father's prolonged heart condition story. • [30:40] Affirming positive health and wellness practices as black women. • [34:11] Why she's focusing on fulfilling what the radiant needs to live a life of health and wellness. • [46:59] The present and future of Radiant Magazine ***THE EPISODE WAS RECORDED EARLY THIS YEAR, PRIOR TO THE RELEASE OF THE LATEST PUBLICATION: THE SELF-CARE ISSUE.

I’m joined today by someone who is no longer new to this journey. Okechukwu Nzelu a writer and teacher. His debut novel The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney, is finally out. He joins me to discuss the journey of publishing is debut work and to inspire you to pick up your work from where you left it. To get a copy of his book please visit https://www.amazon.com/Private-Joys-Nnenna-Maloney/dp/0349701059 Edafe Okporo has always been a leader in time of difficulties, migrating from Nigeria to the United States as a refugee, overcoming great obstacles and now leading a movement of building a compassionate society.

Here at Salon we’re *so* excited about the debut novel from Okechukwu Nzelu and we're thrilled to feature him as a Salon Exclusive! Here he reads to us from 'The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney' - a very funny and bighearted story. In it we see Nnenna approaching womanhood, full of questions about how to ‘be’ when there’s so much she doesn’t know of her cultural and familial history, and we meet her mother Joanie, wondering how to love when she has never truly been loved. Their story is definitely one you’ll want to hear. 'The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney' is published by the pioneering and brilliant Dialogue Books and is available now.

I could have definitely used 'The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney' when I was a teenager. If, like me, you love books full of humour, tenderness and beautiful relationships, then you'll adore this fantastic debut novel by Okechukwu Nzelu. Nnenna is a 16-year-old growing up in Manchester and has so much grit as she navigates the ups and downs of womanhood alongside her mum, Joanie. Their relationship is certainly very special but Nnenna’s curiosity to learn more about her father, Maurice, who Joanie refuses to discuss, is tested, particularly as Nnenna learns more about her father and his Nigerian culture. I absolutely loved 'The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney' and had so much fun chatting with Okechukwu about teenager anxiety, the powerful dynamics between all the characters in the book and why we tend to believe the doubts in our heads, especially when they are confirmed by those we love most. It’s no surprise that Okechukwu’s debut has been recommended by the i Paper, the Guardian, Metro and many others. Oh and by beloved authors such as Candice Carty-Williams, Andrew McMillian and Bernardine Evaristo. I really hope you love this episode! You can buy Okechukwu's book here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-private-joys-of-nnenna-maloney/okechukwu-nzelu/9780349701059
