On this soul-stirring episode of Brave Voices in Education, host Craig Aarons-Martin sits down with Reverend Minnassa Gabon—a mindfulness expert, spiritual leader, and founder of Minnassa Wellness. Together, they explore what it means to lead with divine alignment, reclaim sacred stillness, and embody brave leadership rooted in love.
This conversation is for every leader who has ever felt like they had to shrink to belong. Rev. Minnassa reminds us that healing is strategy, stillness is a superpower, and our voices—just as they are—are enough. From coming out at 50 to challenging patriarchal church traditions, her story is a masterclass in sacred courage.
