Black Mental Matters Episode 99 - Why Community Matters in Mental Health | NAMI Arkansas
Q: What are some of the common misconceptions people have about mental illness today?
A major misconception is that individuals are alone in their struggles, when in reality one in five Americans live with a diagnosable mental illness. This episode emphasizes that it's a collective issue that benefits from open conversation, community support, and continued education to reduce stigma.
Healing In Color Ep 2 - "The Healing Power of Dance" with Andre & Natalie Paramonov
Q: Tell us about your journey from Russia to becoming world-renowned dancers.
We discuss our origins, education in dance, moving across countries, and how our partnership formed. The conversation highlights cultural influences and the commitment required to excel, while emphasizing how teaching and performing keep us connected to communities around the world.
Healing In Color Ep 1 - Li Wong and The Georgia Asian Times
Q: First, tell us, I mean, you just got back from Asia. You do a lot of things. Tell us a little bit about your journey, Lee.
Well, I make a quick trip to Asia. This is my annual excursion to reconnect with my roots. I'm originally from Malaysia, so I spent some time visiting with families and friends there, including Thailand and Koh Samui, which influenced my perspective on culture and community.
Healing In Color Ep 9 - "From Russia to Resilience" The Garry Gekhman Journey
Q: What impact has dance had on the lives of others you've encountered, including those with physical challenges?
Dance provided empowerment, healing, and a sense of belonging for people dealing with disability or hardship, such as Paralympic athletes, and demonstrated that movement can translate into confidence and community connection.
Healing In Color Ep 9 - "From Russia to Resilience" The Garry Gekhman Journey
Q: How did the journey across cultures shape you as a person and as a dancer?
Immigration across multiple countries built resilience and identity, with dance becoming a stabilizing passion that helped me integrate, teach, and inspire others while creating opportunities for aspiring dancers from diverse backgrounds.
