|Brewing Resilience and Sipping Strength, One Cup at a Time
Guest: Aaliyah McKenzie
Hosts: Tamra Douglas-Atkinson and Sherona McKenzie
"Education was my main plan, my backup plan, and my backup backup's plan" - Aaliyah. Have you ever been stuck at a place where you feel like you've just lost your only chance at a successful future? How about being crippled by pain (literally), lost in depression, and had your whole life take a 360 by a pregnancy?
Journey with us as 18 year old Aaliyah Mckenzie shows us how she overcame depressive episodes, dropping out of university, faced loneliness and lost her sense of worth due to unemployment, but found purpose once again when she found out she was pregnant in the midst of that all.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: "You can grow through anything you go through" - Aaliyah McKenzie----more----
