In this episode, I'm honored to have the amazing Dr. Athea Vanzant joining us today. I must say, this Sistah is something special! She's a published author, poet, mental health advocate, an educator, and just an all-around inspiring individual. She's using her God's given gifts to make a real difference in people's lives each and everyday.
As we sat down we discussed all kinds of things in this episode, from her childhood growing up in the church to her journey as a poet. Dr. Vanzant -aka- Essence has a beautiful way with words – she calls it the dichotomy of "soft and strong," and let me tell you, it's powerful stuff. She's even written two incredible books, "47 Seconds" - a collection of love poems that'll tug at your heartstrings - and "Parenting, Anxiety and Little Ones," a 31-day Journal to help parents navigate these challenging times.
We also dove into something that's really close to Dr. Vanzant's heart 'Mental Health Advocacy.' She's doing some incredible work to reduce the stigma, increase access to resources, and support folks who are struggling. She's even the Director of Mental Health and Wellness for the Galaxy of Poets, an organization doing amazing things in the community. We talked about all of that, plus some exciting events she's got coming up, like her annual "Essence of Poetry" show and her mental health retreat that sounds absolutely incredible.
