In this inspiring episode, host Aderonke Bademosi Wilson is joined by Tanya Reid, a Kingdom representative, communication strategist, and mental health advocate. Together, they explore the intersection of faith, communication, personal growth, and advocacy.
Tanya begins by explaining what it means to be a Kingdom representative: embodying and expressing God’s love and kindness in every aspect of life. Professionally, she serves as the President and CEO of Skyrocket Communications, where she emphasizes the importance of effective communication as a key to personal and professional success.
Tanya’s advocacy for mental health is professional and deeply personal. She supports individuals facing mental health challenges and works to advance access to resources and policy reform. Her commitment to this cause stems from her own life experiences, and she views it as a calling that extends well beyond the workplace.
Listeners get a glimpse into Tanya’s personal life as she shares anecdotes about being a fraternal twin and a former high school volleyball player. She also speaks lovingly about her blended family and the support of her husband, who has embraced and uplifted her child as his own.
Tanya reflects on her recent role as a grand juror, where she took the opportunity to confront unconscious bias in case presentations. She uses this experience to encourage others to speak up against injustice, no matter the setting.
Tanya's passion for service shines through as she recounts organizing a mission trip to Kenya, where her team distributed food to a local community in need. Tanya emphasizes how generosity, teamwork, empathy, and love are essential ingredients in creating meaningful change.
One of the most powerful parts of Tanya’s story is her journey with her son's bipolar disorder diagnosis. This personal challenge led her to become an outspoken mental health advocate and inspired her to found the Sound Minds Mental Health Awareness and Solutions Conference, a platform aimed at offering real support and actionable solutions.
Tanya’s story is a powerful reminder of how purpose, advocacy, and resilience can transform lives. Her journey offers hope and encouragement for anyone navigating their own challenges and striving to make a difference. Listeners are encouraged to use their voices to advocate for change and to support those around them, especially in the area of mental health. Every action, no matter how small, can have a lasting impact.
