"MOMMY, I THINK I HAVE DIABETES." a conversation with author Jamala Lesane

"Mommy, I Think I Have Diabetes": The Power of Listening to Black Youth.

Family, pull up a chair to the circle! This week, we are reclaiming our bloodline.

We are honored to sit down with Jamala Lesane, a woman walking in a powerful legacy (cousin to the legendary Tupac Shakur). But today, she’s fighting a different kind of war—the battle for our health.

In this powerful episode, we discuss: The moment her young daughter diagnosed herself with diabetes. How they decolonized their diet without losing the Soul. Breaking generational curses and protecting our Black youth.

This isn’t just a medical conversation; it’s a liberation conversation. It’s time to heal the village.
