We sit down with Brenda Palmer, author, preacher, and podcast host to discuss her background and how she ended up saying YES to Jesus' call on her life to preach! We talk about how we can go about finding ourselves in Christ when we lose sight of what he's put in us, as well as how that led to writing her first book, "The Journey of Yes: The Everyday Adventure of Radical Obedience". We also talk about the ways in which you can use social media to push your ministry and serve Jesus' Kingdom; because He will use ALL things to satisfy His purpose.

Research and recent data has shown that depression and anxiety amongst teens age 15-19 has shot up 62%, and 44% for younger teens 10-14 (per 100,00 girls according to reported U.S. hospital admissions for non-fatal self-harming); suicide rates have also gone up significantly.
What is the cause of heightened depression in our country? Is it the advent of social media?
We explore the effects of social media on our mental health, and how social media has become the unavoidable drug of choice for many people.
In a recent survey carried out by the Black Beauty Roster, we found out that:
97% of black models have had to do their own hair while on-set because the hair stylist wasn't equipped to do it.
83% of black models have been asked to come to set with their hair prepped and “ready to go”.
77% had to do your own makeup on-set because the artist didn't have the right products for their skin tone.
THIS ISN'T RIGHT!
In this episode, Mame dives into the problem that there STILL is within the fashion industry; never being equipped to accommodate to black models and models of color. Mame is referencing an Open Letter to the Fashion Industry (< click to read) which she wrote and published on Medium.com in June of 2020, as a response to the attention that #BlackLivesMatter initiatives were finally getting, following the murder of George Floyd.
