Restoration + Redemption

Restoration + Redemption

My name is Dr. Shaniqua Jones better known as #TheOliviaPopeOfEducation. I am dedicating my podcast to two of the people who play an intricate part of my life. My late mother, Mother Odia B. Anderson who transitioned September 2, 2022 and my husband, Mr. Dedrick L. Jones Sr. who suffered a massive heart attack 26 days later, September 28. I am pretty sure you can imagine how this has been the most challenging time of my life. In this podcast, I take you on a journey of restoration and redemption and even bring a few guests to discuss the ways our stories align. God is!

Hey hey!  How are you?  Really.  I want to know.  My week started off real sketchy because I had to learn a hard lesson where I had to take all the years of my living and learning to relearn the difference between accountability and judgment.  I thought I knew but those lines can get blurred really quick.  Tune in and let's talk.

Love ya!  God is!

This episode - this discussion, I hold near to my soul because this is a word.  I shared on my social media platforms that caring for a husband that is now fully disabled places me in a predicament to feel like a sinlge, teen mother again.  That lonely and exacerbating feelimg associated with marrying an able-bodied man that I now care for 24/7, 365 is overwhelming and joyful, simultaneously.

But, 2024, we are coming for everything God promised us and in order to do so, we have to make sure we are in alignment for the assignment.  Our two words for 2024 are alignment a...

Dropping some quick knowledge in less than 10 minutes.  This is the new move.  I asked God to give me direction as to how I can continue the podcast solo with a worthy message that provokes positive, sustainable change.  He did just that.  All of our episodes are great but this one here was done in true "Shaniqua" fashion  - vibrant integrity.

God is.  Enjoy!

Today was all about my mom, Mother Odia B. Anderson who transitioned September 2, 2023; a year ago tomorrow.  I share a unfiltered and unedited dialogue with you as it relates to what I have experienced in this last year.  Grief is not something you get over - it is something you learn to live with and work through.  I even share some of the lessons I've learned over this last year too!

Thank YOU for being here!  God is!
