My Voice with Dara & Friends

Journey To 40 Pt.1

In a global pandemic, we are still dealing with the "racism pandemic". We are still watching black people die senselessly at the hands of the law. We are still fighting for basic respect, basic rights, basic opportunity. We are still fighting to be seen, heard, & valued. Although, you may not agree with the methods, you have to acknowledge the reasons.In this episode I allow mothers to speak about what their take on our current conditions are, and/or how we should be responding.Please enjoy the clips that I pulled from Kimberly Latrice Jones, Angela Davis, & James Baldwin. If you don't know what to do, or what to say, you should first start with educating yourself on the issues.Follow me on all social media platforms @MyVoicePodcast.LikeCommentShareLove You All Ways, AlwaysDara Ayana

The Real Pandemic

When we think of gifts and receiving, or only pleasing what is a desire of ours, we think it's selfish. While being selfish has its place, does it really have a place when it is concerning our peace, our sanity, or our goals. I gave myself some much needed gifts this Mother's Day, & I hope you follow my lead, or have already taken the lead, and given yourself some gifts. YOURSELF, the key factor, have you taken care of you. Take a listen and then shoot on over to my IG @MyVoicePodcast to let me know what those gifts are.Please follow me on all social media platforms @MyVoicePodcast.Love All Ways, Always!Dara Ayana
