thank you, 2020: wins + wisdom

2020 brought us a bag a tricks that none of us expected or could have predicted. it invited us to tap into our faith, strength, endurance, perseverance, resilience, resourcefulness + creativity in new ways. and while it may have been uncomfortable, i'm a firm believer that nothing is for nothing. with that said, this episode of real matters of the heart, the first and only of the year, serves as a quilt of personal narratives -- wins + wisdom brought to us by the events + experiences this year gave us -- with the hope these words will guide + remind us in future seasons. thank you to all the contributors for sharing your stories. may they be the soil in which others will plant their seeds of faith + hope. thank you to all the contributors for sharing your stories. may they be the soil which others will plant their seeds of faith + hope. contributors: brandon reed (@habitblcx); myisha james (@mydesign80); toni smith (@empoweringtonismith); gracie cartier (@madamejeuge); tiffany mills (@tmills037); teri lacy (@terijoi); rachel benjamin (@frostycaliente); candice renee (@thecandicerenee); dr. lavonda mickens (@lavondaforlove); debbie mills (@tootsie955); nyasha bralock (@nyasha_b). host: joi k. madison (@joihearts)
