As we approach our first year anniversary, I think it’s a good idea to take a look at what we have accomplished together. There’s so much more in store, but it’s important to appreciate how far we have all come in this journey! Angel Kim and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for helping us shape this into the experience it has grown into. We couldn’t have done it without you. And as we move toward the next chapter, we hope that you all will continue to support each other as you always have. Our goal is not to simply survive, but to thrive. And it is our mission to provide resources and opportunities that will make that possible. Stay Zen!

I speak on advocating, especially within engaging the medical profession. Unfortunately, we (people of Color, Women have been groomed and indoctrinated... Don't Question Doctors, because the patriarchy knows best... Take this, because it fits the narrative and is the best for the insurance company... Medicine is a business.... Ruled by bias and money interest... Big Pharma and corporations don't care about quality of life or care... Driven by profits and greed... Suppressing voices and new cures... Curing diseases doesn't create long term residual income. Plus, patients aren't doctors, should just tow the line... What questions would they ask anyway? Most don't read above the fifth grade level... Doctor, no disrespect to your years of education... All folks are not the same when speaking of learning, comprehension... The changes in medical protocols happen consistently. Being, super busy, seeing many people and new modalities, charting, have you kept up with new studies??... Are you aware of the bias in medicine??? The inequality, unequal treatment especially to Black folks... Were our bodies included in clinical trials??? Did you really see me, for the seven minutes of clinical engagement, writing the script without greeting the person. Why are you angry, when I ask about new treatment... Wonder why Black folks and others don't trust Doctors... We shut down, don't take prescribed medicine... You're not putting a chemo port in my chest... The test was inconclusive... Chemo is not always best, especially now... Why aren't you listening to a Black Sister that has a cure for Cancer... Oh, I see, only white males get to bring new discoveries.... This field sometimes so out of touch, let folks and doctors die... The ego, inflated because western medicine told you... Only you, Doctors, have the answers... Got ya'll thinking you're GOD!!! Lots of deaths have occurred... The arrogance have maimed many... Within the oath of do no harm.. Could have prevented the traumatic pain or psychological damage...

Yes, we have one. Yes, we’re adding more playlists, broadcasts, and other goodies. If you haven’t subscribed yet, now is a good time! Pardon us as we are restructuring 🙃https://youtube.com/@stayzenverse?si=uXvYCFCGV6APiz0x

What Is Juneteenth? Juneteenth is more than a date. It is memory. It is truth. It is resistance. It is every story that refused to disappear. This prompt series invites writers, poets, storytellers, and truth-tellers to engage the history, the pain, the legacy, and the questions still waiting for answers. From injustice to identity. From remembrance to reckoning. Choose a prompt. Write boldly.Speak honestly. Leave your fingerprints on the conversation. Because some stories were buried on purpose. Write It. Speak It. Change It.
