This month we’ve traveled to three continents on our herstory tour and our final destination is the west coast of the US by way of The Gambia. My guest, Kadiatou Sibi, started in the world of work after finding her voice (literally), in university when she began traveling the world as a lead singer of the band, Belizbeha. Following a successful career in media, entertainment, and teaching, she focused on entrepreneurism to launch A Web of Wellness (AWOW). With over 24 years of experience as an Ayurvedic Wellness and Performance Coach at AWOW, Kadiatou helps clients achieve optimal health and well-being through personalized diet, lifestyle, and meditation practices. She is a board-certified Ayurvedic practitioner by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA), and a Chopra Certified Health Teacher and Student at Chopra Global, where she learns from the renowned Deepak Chopra and his team of experts. Her involvement with the National Ayurvedic Medicine Association includes participation on the DEI committee reflecting her dedication to inclusivity within the field. Additionally, she has authored articles, led DEI workshops, and extended her expertise to cater to a diverse clientele. This conversation was a breath of fresh Spring air and I hope that many of the tips that Kadi has to offer in conversation and at AWOW will help you to build better, wholistic wellness practices for you and your loved ones.

As February comes to a close, and with it the annual call to attention, remembrance, and action that is Black History Month in North America, I decided to curate a Black Progress episode drawing on the research of Dr. T.J Desch-Obi in the historical ethnography of pre-colonial Africa and the African Diaspora and Dr. Bhekinkosi Moyo in African Philanthropy, snapshots of pre- and post-colonial Senegal with Bara Diokhane, evolving systems and training leaders with Mustapha Njie and the lived experience of Elizabeth Rollins-Moskowitz, as a creative, as a woman, as Black American navigating career, marriage, and self-discovery in parallel with the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.

Each week here on the podcast we’re doing our part to share stories of Black presence that are indeed manifesting a new world so I hope this compilation of Dynamic Diasporans making local and global impact will inspire you, your presence, your progress, and your passion.
