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.

Welcome home, co-journers. I am glad you're here, and so many of you have been supportive of the podcast and I have received your messages where you

have listed your top podcast for 2020 and I am so glad to be in the number for so many of you

I'm grateful for your presence and we have many co-journers and supporters but I have to give a special

shout out today to Charles Turner. Charles Turner let me know that he was the number one fan of the Homecoming

podcast and you know many people can say that but Charles Turner has actually

memorized some of the episodes so I have to give him a big shout out for

the support and so glad to meet you virtually. He is a law student at Howard University and is going to be doing wonderful things in his present and his future.

So we are cheering for you, Charles, and thank you for being on this homecoming journey with us.

And I'm also glad we have a poetry submission and several of you have sent in poems

so we are covered for the next couple of episodes but

you all keep sending them at homecoming podcast at gmail.com and today I'm going to

read the poem from Jaelia Parson.
