In this episode I chat with journalist Samira Sawlani. On Twitter she refers to herself as Sam S (@samirasawlani). Walks Like a Supermodel. Punches Like a Warrior. Journalist. Writer. Reader. Africa (not a country) Fitness. Shoes. 
We are talking about how a British-Indian woman came to tell African stories… how 2020 taught her how to grieve and how she is learning to create and be a safe non-judgemental space for others who may be grieving. She delves into the politics of inequality and the global order, her love for the continent and talks about how journalism found her… Listen in….. Shout out to @adelleonyango, @EverydayAfrica and #abubakaradamibrahim (Season of Crimson Blossoms) and many others for changing the single story about Africa.

Passing The Baton

Episode 63: Passing The Baton

Grief is one of the heart’s natural responses to loss. When we grieve we allow ourselves to feel the truth of our pain, the measure of betrayal or tragedy in our life. By our willingness to mourn, we slowly acknowledge, integrate, and accept the truth of our losses. Sometimes the best way to let go is to simply grieve.

It takes courage to grieve, to honor the pain we carry. We can grieve in tears or in meditative silence, in prayer or in song. In touching the pain of recent and long-held griefs, we come face to face with our genuine human vulnerability, with helplessness and hopelessness. These are the storm clouds of the heart.

In this  episode we experience walking the Camino as  very personal and not really a group experience. Sometimes….we disengage from chattering and walk mindfully….. Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow, sometimes you’re the one left behind as others forge on...but it’s not a competition, it's about finding your own rhythm. And that’s what we are learning from the Camino… to  focus on the journey... and not on how we rank in comparison to others — life is a journey. We are all on a journey, to find something, to become something, to learn and to create. If we can find our own rhythm…

”No Head" is about living life in the present moment, navigating life together & telling African stories. Dorothy Ooko, when not doing a full-time job in communications, facilitates a course at Google called Search Inside Yourself (SIY). The head is host to all our thoughts, our concerns, our biases, fears & insecurities that invariably get in the way of our being fully present to life.  “No Head” is about awakening our real identity, our true authentic unadulterated uncontaminated identity -- that identity which is our true self. That identity which leaves our assumptions, our judgments, our biases behind and allows us to tune in more deeply into the present, to avoid getting lost in our thoughts about the past or the future and helps us stay in touch with our experiences as they unfold moment by moment. This is what mindfulness is all about…Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on Google Podcast, Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Stitcher and check the website www.nohead.space so you never miss an episode.
