The TOMMIE! Talk Show

Episode 20: "She's D.O.P.E."

This episode's purpose is to celebrate women's contribution, presence, and power everywhere.  We've named this episode, "She’s D.O.P.E”.  "Dope" is slang for awesome, great, amazing, or phenomenal.  “D.O.P.E.” in this context serves as an acronym for Determined (possessing a steadfast resolve despite any obstacle), Ownership (owns their power and taking up space), Pioneering (trailblazing), and Embracing (supporting and uplifting their community).  In this episode, we will explore what catalyzes and diminishes the awesomeness of women as well as the internal and external barriers many women experience that prevent them from owning the space and showing up in their fullness. T.W. Suggs (host) is joined by guest cohost Ayana Blount (aka the Passion Strategist) and special guests Dr. Doreen Loury (Founder and Executive Director of the Black Male Development Symposium) and Tezarah Wilkins (Founder and CEO of Tezarah Wilkins Photography).

Episode 19: "Getting Back to the Heart of God Through Worship"

It’s important for us to remain at the heart of God.  Unfortunately, life, circumstances, work, family, our schedules, and distractions can sometimes distance us from God and move us further away from His heart.  This episode, "Getting Back to the Heart of God Through Worship", focuses on how we can maintain our closeness with God even when life becomes unbearable.  It also features conversations on the impact of social media on worship experiences, vulnerability, and how toxic views of masculinity hinder men from worshiping.  The host of the TOMMIE! Talk Show, TW Suggs, is joined by special guests Bashir Hogue (Multi-award winning international artist) and Prof. Scot Stevens (Educator, musician, and artist).    For more information on The TOMMIE!

Starting a new year can come with many mixed feelings.  In 2023 we experienced hardships, victories, losses, triumphs, pains, growth, and lessons.  As we embark on 2024, we are met with excitement for fresh possibilities and opportunities to get right what we didn't quite master the previous year.   The purpose of this episode is to help provide The TOMMIE!
