In this episode, we speak with Yasmine Arrington Brooks, Founder of ScholarCHIPS and one of the Top Ten CNN Heroes of 2023. Since 2010, her organization has provided renewable scholarships, book awards, and mentoring to college-bound youth with incarcerated parents. We learn about her discovery, at age 15, that there were no scholarships dedicated to aspiring students like herself with incarcerated parents, arguably among the most in need and vulnerable, and how she developed a program that now provides a way for those like her to attend and graduate from college. 

Yasmine Arrington Brooks was a teenager when she became the potential answer to a challenge. The child of incarcerated parents with a passion for making things happen, she founded ScholarCHIPS and hasn't looked back since. ScholarCHIPS provides college scholarships, mentoring, mental health supports, and a peer support network to college-bound young adults who have incarcerated parents, inspiring them to complete their college education. I've been a Yazzie fan for a long time and I wondered: what would she say about how curiosity contributes to the work of social entrepreneurship?

This week's FINAL rewind intermission is from the Healed Trauma. Freed Finances. series feat. Delisa Treshelle who tells how FORGIVENESS unlocked the blockages to some of her unresolved trauma   Often there is a misconception when it comes to the correlation between forgiveness and financial debt. Many believers of the Christian faith often recite the well known verse “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” from the Lord's prayer, but fail to do the same when it comes to those who may have hurt them. Could it be that the true debt that needs to be forgiven is that of an offender and not just your financial debt? On today's episode, Ramesha Nicole sits down with serial entrepreneur and prophetic artist Delisa Treshelle on how her process of forgiving her dad for the lack of presence in her life, not only unlocked financial breakthrough that she was seeking, but into a new level of her life's purpose.   Removing The Blockages Take-Aways: Releasing and forgiving has levels to it. Are there things you have in your possession that are attached to your unforgiveness? Could it be that the person that you need to forgive has gone through the same things that you have gone through? When you heal and forgive, you get clarity about your life's purpose. The season of frustration that you are experiencing is linked to your unforgiveness.-Delisa Treshelle It's not that God doesn't want to open the doors and put you in the position, he wants to first remove the blockages of unforgiveness in your heart so that you can do his work.-Delisa Treshelle “You have to obey your Heavenly Father in order to forgive your earthly father.”-Ramesha Nicole “You have to want your Heavenly Father more than your earthly father.”-Delisa Treshelle “You're going to be tested in the same area that you are called to.”-Delisa Treshelle “Sometimes God has to strip everything and everybody away from you.”-Delisa Treshelle “God can't give you what you want until you make room.”-Ramesha Nicole “The physical weight that you are carrying may be linked to unforgiveness.”-Delisa Treshelle “We have to uphold our parents to a certain standard. They are adults too.”-Delisa Treshelle “Unforgiveness is holding you down like weights.”-Delisa Treshelle -27:30 “You have to be prepared for what you pray.”-Ramesha Nicole “Let it go.”-Delisa Treshelle “Sometimes we put our own weight on ourselves.”-Delisa Treshelle “Sometimes after forgiveness, there is residue.”-Delisa Treshelle Action Steps To Removing Blockages: Look in the mirror, face yourself and accept responsibility for forgiving. Give it to God completely. Fully surrender. Truth for Freedom Questions: What does it mean to get real in order to experience freedom? Remove the perfectionism. It's not about how others portray you just be yourself.
