In this second episode, we visit July 23rd, 1996, and discover why I don't drink alcohol, what my drug of choice is, and how 16yr old me gave hints to exactly where I would be right now. This entry sparks questions on what creates our habits and challenges societal norms.
Most of us don’t even realize how much we are being marketed to when it comes to alcohol and so much more. What things have we lost in adulthood that are core to who we are, and who we are meant to be? Who are we in times of change or challenge? Who are we in the face of peer pressure now?
Author, poet, spoken word artist and emcee Opal Ellyse has been keeping handwritten journals since 1995. Each week she shares an entry and ties it to current events and relevant topics of conversation. Royalty is living in your legacy while you're still here. Understanding your past and bridging it to the present (and future) is a gift. Join Opal as she shares wisdom from the past as it becomes present day epiphany and a blueprint for all that is next.
