Meet Amy King! Today, my friend joins me to talk about poetry and blogging, her love for ballet, solo travels to both Ireland and Costa Rica, and being a seeker. A seeker of faith, art, ideas, culture, and memorable experiences and connections. We discuss both the creative and personal development process, like learning to quiet the competitive spirit and just be, no longer comparing one's self to others, including the old self. By doing so we show grace to ourselves and can rekindle our passions. We hope you enjoy it!

In this new episode, I can't hype up The Queen's Gambit enough! I recently watched the Netflix Tv mini-series and then immediately read the novel, and I loved them both. The story is a coming-of-age drama that follows the recently orphaned 8-year-old chess prodigy, Beth Harmon on her quest to become the world chess champion. The game brings her new friends and enemies and serves as a mirror to her life as she battles to master not only the game she loves but also her inner demons and addictions. This is an amazing book-to-film adaption for fans of chess and those new to the game. I can't wait to talk about this and I hope you enjoy it! IG/Facebook/Twitter: @josiahsvoicepod.

Years later, in 2019, I'd meet her in person at the Pan-African Film Festival showcasing her newest short film, Riverment. The film is a gripping story that follows two generations of Black Civil Rights activists, the opposing yet similar ideologies that come to head in the wake of police brutality on college campuses. Shayla and I talk about her roots in theater, what it was like making her first short film, the film festival circuit, and her life as a growing screenwriter and director. i hope you enjoy our conversation on all things movies!

Bill shares his photography journey which started right after high school in Nairobi, Kenya, when all of his friends moved on to start careers, he felt lost. It was time well spent at his favorite bookshops reading various books that reminded him of his love of reading and art and he was inspired to try his hand at photography and Instagram. Today, he's inspiring people every day with his amazing photos of books, cats, coffee, and the greater world around us, and not only on social media, but also for brands in his native, Kenya now that he's working as a photographer full time. Moments are fleeting, and I'm grateful that Bill stopped by to remind me how important it is to invest time in myself and my interests. We hope you do the same, and please enjoy the episode.

Meet Katnia "KAT" Watkins. Kat and I met through Instagram, and in this episode, we chat about Kat's STEM journey starting with experiments in Africa as a kid, to now starting her own Society of Black Physicists in college while getting her degree. We also talk about the science of relationships like motherhood, we talk Star Trek, and why scientifically, we apparently "never touch anything".

It's been surreal and tragic losing Chadwick Boseman. It's been a rough year for everyone, but Black folks have been through so much with the death of Kobe and John Lewis, and on top of it innocent Black men and women murdered at the hands of police brutality. 2020 has been quite the year to say the least. Chadwick played so many iconic Black men, culminating in playing King T'Challa in Black Panther. So I took a day at the beach to reflect on Chadwick's impact and legacy. I'm wishing his wife and family love and strength during this difficult time. And I just wanted to say "thank you" to Chadwick for being steadfast and inspirational to so many Black artists. To be young, gifted, and Black. We'll carry the torch and walk and create in the spirit of Black Excellence, and pick up where you left off. In the show notes, the blog will be an ever-growing post collecting interviews and tributes to Chadwick and his legacy.

Meet Lang Johnson. She was one of the first writing friends that I made in the Instagram writing community. In this episode, Lang shares her experience working in IT and Finance, and how reading the book Wild by Cheryl Strayed inspired her to quit her job and follow in the footsteps of the author women in her family, by realizing her own dreams of being a writer. Since writing her first fantasy novel, Of Beasts & Gods, Lang has written three more manuscripts and is now repped by the Transatlantic Agency. I hope you learn more about the publishing industry in this episode and become inspired to go after your dreams. Enjoy, and thanks for listening.

Today is the first listener participation episode of the podcast. The listeners were invited to share their Quarantine views aka a couple TV shows or movie (series) that's kept them sane through the past 4 months of quarantine due to Covid-19. this was a lot of fun and you'll find plenty of recommendations for when you want to veg out and find something new, or in some cases, old, to watch as we continue social distancing. I hope you enjoy, wash your hands, wear a mask, and keep social-distancing. We'll get through this together. Thanks for listening!

This is my experimental stream of consciousness episode dedicated to Black life and all of us healing and fighting and creating. I talk about mourning Breonna Taylor, George, Floyd, Toyin Salau, Ahmaud Arbery, Elijah McClain, and the countless fallen. I also touch on creating, educating (self), and meditating on love during these hard times. Again, this one is in tribute to Black folks and hopefully a reminder to never stop living. Black Lives Matter.
