This episode reveals our first Featured Voice, EMAH SHAE. (Emah means 'mother' in a lot of indigenous cultures.) She has practiced contemporary architecture for over 30 years, and now during her semi-retirement, is an avid researcher in indigenous healing methods, and in particular as inspired by Dr. Sebi. Emah is a native of Jamaica, and you will hear patois as she speaks about:
- some traditional expectations of Jamaican women;
- the cost of trying to fit in -- both in corporate life, and even family life;
- the social and cultural shame that often accompanies being a sensitive person;
- finding the courage to resist European standards of beauty, and allow the naturalness of her hair; and
- the empowering decision to be, accept, and love... who she truly is. "I don't want to be what I'm not, anymore."
