Discovering Delight

I’m kicking off the new year on Discovering Delight by acknowledging how chaotic life has felt and setting an intention to complain less and talk about my work with more gratitude. A friend recently called out how I’ve been speaking from exhaustion and dread about the very things I prayed for, so I’m trying to harness the “year of the fire horse” energy with more courage, movement, and optimism. I share work updates: Coyi is expanding from Coyi Drama Club into a theatre company with a second project coming, I’m building offerings for youth and adults, and I won seed funding from a training program—plus I gained a local mentor. I also have speaking gigs and a podcasting masterclass ahead, I’m redefining success and support, and I’m committing to documenting my work and posting monthly episodes.00:00 New Year Check In00:27 Complaining Less Mindset02:31 Fire Horse Energy03:49 Work Updates And Growth08:32 Measuring Success And Support10:43 Creative Stability Lessons11:39 Podcast Focus For Creatives12:57 Fear Of Being Seen14:38 Consistency Plans And Goodbye

Rediscovering the Joy of Reading and Exploring Justice Through Vigilante NarrativesIn this episode of Discovering Delight, I share my recent journey of reigniting my passion for reading after a hiatus, motivated by Angela Makholwa's book 'Black Widow Society.' I dive into the captivating story of a black women-led vigilante group that helps women escape abusive marriages through drastic actions. This narrative sparks a deeper reflection on justice, accountability, and the role of community in protecting vulnerable individuals. I discuss my thoughts on the deficiencies of current justice systems, the principle of equal retribution, and the concept of mob justice. Join me for an engaging session filled with thought-provoking ideas and reflections on societal values.Episode Chapters:00:00 - Welcome to Discovering Delight00:19 - Rediscovering the Joy of Reading01:34 - Diving into 'Black Widow Society'03:02 - Reflections on Justice and Vigilantism09:28 - The Role of Community in Justice13:44 - Concluding Thoughts and Farewell
