Hey Sister!: Recent Episodes
Hey Sister!
Hey everybody! We're Demetria and Christina, and Hey Sister! is our podcast for sisters, by sisters, about sisters and misters. And, yes, we are actual sisters - biological, sorority, and as Black women. Our name, Hey Sister!, is our usual greeting, especially on phone calls, and it was our phone calls - from silly to serious, personal to political, and everything in between - that served as the genesis for our podcast. After years of saying "we should do something with our conversations," in October 2017, we pressed record on a mobile phone, and we've been on a fabulous ride ever since.
Rest /rest/ - verb: cease work or movement in order to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength. be placed or supported so as to stay in a specified position. Want some? Need some? How do you get it in your life?
Hey Sister welcomes Alessandra Thompson Poroj, The Self Care Architect, and owner of WOWD (Women of Worth and Destiny) Wellness Center to discuss the Power of Rest.
