Dear Listener, 

Each episode is researched and encoded with you in mind. My hope is that you find each episode relevant and timely. This episode took on a life of its own when I reached out to Dr. Jowanda Rollins-Fells to get permission to read her letter and she offered to come on the show and read it to us. The "Open Heart Letter" speaks to what the Emotionally Yours Podcast is all about. 

After resigning from FedEx Custom Critical in 2005, I started over. With 3 kids, a marriage/divorce and on welfare, I travelled through many crevices of life, some by choice and others by chance. Everywhere I went there was something new to see and an experience I will never forget. Lessons learned were that life happens, faith/hope was burdensome, everyone has a story and their truth matters. Black community our truth matters, no matter how dark, lowly or high. It's truth telling time! 

The Emotionally Yours Podcast intends to destigmatize Black Mental Health and promote mental wellness in the black community. Fear of speaking our truth is no longer an option. Getting to our best self, requires us to block out the white noise and identify our emotional needs. Hopefully, this podcast will have you to consider what needs to change in your life and in our community. Let's agree to "level up" and "lift up." 

Until next time....

Emotionally yours, April
