Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh,

Welcome home. I'm Dr. Tama, a minister, licensed psychologist, and sacred artists.

And this is Homecoming, a podcast to facilitate your journey home to yourself.

While I will provide weekly inspiration and mental health tips, this

podcast is not a substitute for therapy. I'm so excited you're on the journey. If you

want to request specific topics or share your progress, email me at homecoming

podcast at gmail.com. Also after you listen, be sure to like, subscribe, and share. Let's begin.

During our first season, I had you all write vows to yourself and to email them to me a share. But now that we're starting our second season,

I am asking for your poetry, for you to write a poem about your homecoming, about what it means to be at home within yourself.

And for this, our first episode of season two, I have an excerpt from a poem called B as you.

From a dear friend of mine E-O-K-A,

she is an incredible Nigerian-American spoken word artist and vocalist and I encourage you to check her out.

Here is a piece from Ioka be as you.

Come and go as you.

The you only God and you know best.

Be true to yourself.

Come and go as you today.

Keep steadfast, never change.

I give voice to poems of praise.

I know where I am. I am not in exile. I am joyful invitations, remembering,

feel big moves and small blessings.
