Wouldn’t It Be Nice… A Conversation with Britteny Floyd-Mayo aka Trap Yoga Bae®

"We all wanna look good, but looking good is a byproduct of feeling good, and that starts with the body and the mind, and that’s what yoga means: to yoke together the body, the mind, and the spirit basically." - Brittany Floyd-Mayo aka Trap Yoga Bae® Summary Oakland native and CEO of Trap Yoga Bae, Britteny Floyd-Mayo, talks with BlackFemaleProject Podcast guest host Leslie Stoval about twerking as a cultural phenomenon, the power of yoga, and her game-changing “Wouldn’t it be nice” mindset. After growing up in Oakland, Britteny completed her undergraduate studies at Dillard University in New Orleans before returning to the Bay and receiving a second degree from Holy Names University. The third season of BlackFemaleProject's podcast takes a deep and broad dive into the Health Services sector. Episodes 1 through 3 offer insights from three Black women with careers in the medical realm, followed by three episodes that feature Black women who center social responsibility in their paths. Our final trio of season 3 lifts up the wisdom and journeys of Black women who operate with a holistic perspective.

The Body Whisperer: A Conversation with Dr. Phyllis Hubbard

"Even if it's just a seed, the solution is embedded within the problem." Dr. Phyllis Hubbard (a.k.a. The Body Whisperer) talks about her holistic health journey with guest host Leslie Stoval. Dr. Hubbard suffered from the supposedly incurable COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) for nearly three decades before finding her way to Ayurveda and other holistic practices that helped her to be disease free and in support of transformational healing for others. Dr. Hubbard uplifts the connection between trauma and disease and the complicated task of overcoming the perception among Black Christian communities that holistic practices are somehow in violation to their own belief systems.  The third season of BlackFemaleProject's podcast takes a deep and broad dive into the Health Services sector.

Relatable Healthcare: A Conversation with Dr. Jocelyn Freeman Garrick

“I don’t think early in my career I knew what [the phrase “social responsibility”] meant, I just knew that I related to a lot of my patients and I understood what their lived experience was and the barriers that they had, and that my formal medical training was not addressing their disease in a holistic way.” - Dr. Jocelyn Freeman Garrick Summary In this BlackFemaleProject Podcast episode, we hear from San Francisco Bayview native and emergency medicine physician Dr. Jocelyn Freeman Garrick, MD, MS, on her role as a health professional; the importance of patient-provider relatability in healthcare, and preventive measures to improve community health.
