VBB 231 Kimberley John-Morgan: Advocate for Anyone Facing Social Isms!
Kimberley John-Morgan is a strong, unapologetic voice for historically excluded communities subjected to social isms — racism, sexism, classism, ableism, heterosexism, and other forms of oppression. Through her writing and equity education sessions, Kimberley advocates increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), especially where people spend most of their time — at work. Kimberley’s professional journey began with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and family and child studies, but her passion for working in DEI education stems from being first-generation and witnessing her parents struggle to navigate a new country and systemic discrimination. “Throughout my career, I’ve had to overcome multiple isms from people who did not think I was qualified because of my age, sex, or race, but after the murder of George Floyd, I decided I needed to put myself out there and let people know that what I love the absolute most is empowering people who face isms imposed on them.”

"I learned young how to look through chaos to find order. I call my client seekers because most seek something from me that I'm happy to give. Even when visitors aren't ready to share or are doubters who don't want someone rooting around in their energy, I ask, what keeps them up at night? Tasseography helps me offer insight and guidance." Whether it's reading teacups, smoke trails, or tarot cards, Rissa sees a deep reflection in who you are in the moment as your life exists in the now.

Edy Nathan is a licensed therapist, certified sex therapist, hypnotherapist, and certified EMDR practitioner; also the author of IT'S GRIEF - The Dance of Self-Discovery Through Trauma and Loss. "Grief is nonlinear. It does not follow any practical course. As much as we want to plan for it, and as much as we want to say I'm going to do this, this, and this, and then it's gonna be over, you don't want it to be over necessarily. You want to learn how to live with grief in such a way that it doesn't overtake you. It's all about trying to find ways to partner with your grief. So instead of being afraid or wanting to avoid grief, it can become your teacher. I believe that grief is one of our greatest teachers."

VBB 220 Janine Latus: What Would It Take To Break The Cycle Of Intimate-Partner Abuse?
Janine Latus is the New York Times Best Best Selling author. Her book, If I Am Missing or Dead: A Sister’s Story of Love, Murder, and Liberation, is inspired by an ominous message written by her baby sister, Amy, in April 2002. Her note, carefully hidden in a desk drawer, reads, “Today Ron Ball and I are romantically involved,” “but I fear I have placed myself at risk in a variety of ways. Based on (Ron’s) criminal past, writing this out just seems like the smart thing to do. If I am missing or dead, this obviously has not protected me…” A short time later, Amy went missing. After an extensive search, her body was found wrapped in a tarp buried at a building site. As she had feared, Amy fell victim to gender-based violence, even though help was only a phone call away. Janine’s book and her conversation with us are in honor of her sister, but it is also a call to help women break the cycle of intimate-partner abuse.

VBB 194 Barbara Legere On Her Journey With Her Son Through Mental Illness, Addiction & Suicide!
Barbara Legere's son Keven often begged for her permission to end his own life — like any loving mother, she did everything in her power to preserve his life. Keven spent half his life struggling with addiction while his single mom battled the courts, health care companies, rehab facilities, and mental health professionals who had all but abandoned Kevin. While she navigated the dark worlds of her son's depression and substance abuse, Barbara also felt guilt about what she could have done differently to save his life. When Ken did take his own life, Barbara became an advocate for parents who are witnesses to overdoses, arrests, addiction treatment, incarceration, and most terrible, the death of a child. Keven's Choice is Barbara's intimate memoir of a mother's grief, a mother's way of showing that it's possible and even necessary to go on, even amidst the unimaginable.

In 2005, Blythe Hill began paying attention to the issue of human trafficking. Even with a deep sense of urgency to help, Blythe felt helpless. She wasn't a lawyer, doctor, or social worker; her interests and talents were in fashion, trend analysis, and blogging. She believed she had nothing much to offer to the fight. But in 2009, out of boredom, Blythe challenged herself to wear a dress every day in December. Each year that has followed, more and more people have joined Blythe's one-person challenge, and now it's become an international movement. To date, Dressember campaigns have raised over 16 million dollars to fight against human trafficking.

I’m a recovered food addict who has maintained a 100-pound weight loss for more than 12 years. No gimmicks. No pills. I remember in the past, whenever I got my eating under control, I would get persuaded to ‘have just a bite’ of something, which would derail me back to eating non-stop. Even when I explained that I was addicted to sugar, no one, not even myself, took me seriously. When I started in addiction medicine, I realized that my hunch was right. My behaviors around food had the same indicators as my patients with addictions. So when independent research started to show that food addiction exists, I knew it was time for me to speak up."
