Rukiya Michele reflects on one of the greatest lessons she has learned from her children. This episode is dedicated to her son, Trey Harvey, on his 27th birthday (7/22/2020). Tune in, relate, and share. These words from Khalil Gibran, are so apropos: "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable."

Welcome to Soul Stories with Rukiya Michele!
In the words of Erykah Badu, 'I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit!' All of these years later, and I still relate. I know I am not alone. And, that's precisely why Soul Stories was born -- I am not alone and neither are you.
In undergrad I had dreams of a career in talk radio. Specifically, I was going to be a star at NPR (headquarters or at WBEZ Chicago). It was a dream I felt out of my reach so it became something I never fully pursued.
It is now easy to become "on air" personalities through the advent of podcasts. To be honest, for many years I've scoffed at this medium as an avenue for myself. Those were my issues talking to me. But, I decided to turn down the volume on the echoes of my fears and turn up the passionate shouts of my desires. And, Soul Stories was born.
I want to grow this podcast because despite how many podcasts already exist, there is room for one more. There is room for Soul Stories. There is room for me. Soul Stories is fluid and in this first season I will be trying different things while I am learning and growing. It's what Cathy Heller calls "messy action" and I'm taking it.
I want Soul Stories to reaffirm that none of us are alone. And, that oftentimes we share similar experiences, challenges, beliefs, and triumphs. I want Soul Stories to show us our connection to one another. Our stories matter. YOUR story matters. And, I am here to give those stories a safe space to land.
You can find Soul Stories on a number of platforms including Anchor, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Please subscribe and invite a friend to do the same.
Thank you for joining me on this journey! This is Soul Stories.
