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 back, co-journers. I am so excited to be with you on today, we want to send our collective condolences to our audio engineer.

Sister, Poet, Profitist, Activist, artist Asia, who also had a gift of being raised by a queen mother,

who is also an artist, an activist, a spirit woman.

And so we give tribute to her mother and are so thankful that Asia is such an

interval part of the Homecoming Podcast. Well, we have two poems I'm going to read on today because you all have been sending them in and I don't want you to have to wait so long before you hear your poem.

And we have two phenomenal pieces to share on today.

For those who may be listening for the first time,

I encourage our listeners to write a poem

about their homecoming journey and to send it to me at homecoming

podcast at gmail.com and the first piece is by Julia Bianco who is an

Argentinian artist and teacher artist based in Los Angeles and the

piece from them that I am going to read is Rain. I never wanted to be no one except me and I guess I'm still

learning how to be me, walking with the fear of not being loved, accepted, reciprocated,

still walking.
