homeroom is an international podcast bridging the education gap between the classroom and the living room by starting conversations impacting the next generation.
In this episode, I speak with Nikiea—a filmmaker, graphic designer, and motivational coach to authors—about her earliest memories of growing up in a home led by strong women who served their community. We talked about her being the oldest child, and the weight of responsibility that came with assuming those roles, and how the things she saw and experienced impacted how she learned in school. We also discuss the impact of losing loved ones, and how that grief manifests in our bodies if we are not careful, and especially if we don’t know how to say no.
