In this episode (036), I speak to Choreographer, Lecturer, Dance Advocate and Content Creator, Maria Hitchins (@ladysoundchat) about the preservation of Jamaican culture. As a performer since her childhood, Maria is well-suited to discuss this topic, which is very dear to her heart. Her group, ‘Dancers of Jamaica’ (@dancersofjamaica), is just one of the many ways that she demonstrates performance advocacy, highlighting the achievements of Jamaican dancers across the world. The conversation traverses what was, what is, and how we can create a better future for the preservation of one of the most revered cultures in the world.

Reposted from @talk.truthja EP 030: In this episode (030), I speak to Social Media Executive, Andrew ‘Drewpuddy’ Brown’ (@andrew.h.brown) about Fatphobia, something that he has dealt with for all of his life. We talk about what fatphobia is, his specific journey, from ridicule to being fetishized. It’s an interesting discussion about a topic often swept underneath the rug. Enjoy!

This picture simply illustrates a moment in time. This one seems to be full of excitement; loud; happy. It's a lot like life, a series of fleeting yet always meaningful moments; Some moments happy, some sad, some hovering in a strange numbness, but all necessary to mold us into better people and attached to a lesson that instructs us how next to proceed. For all of it I am grateful and give enormous thanks. Listen to EP 026 of my podcast, @talk.truthja (http://talktruthja.com). I candidly speak about 'Journey, Persistence and The Power of Rejection'. A life with more rejection than people would know. I share some of the many things I have been through that have only made me stronger. Blessings and guidance on the journey. #TalkTruthJa #Journey #Rejection #Persistence #ME #Jamaica #METalkTruth #Life https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wWg_nBo-K/?igshid=1q95zb01uz6q9
