Body of episode:

Today\\u2019s guest has visited us before. Tune into episode 103, link in the show notes to hear our first conversation. I Invited her back because she has done quite a bit since our last conversation. Check out her website, www.findingmyplanb.com, to see what I mean. And we will be talking about some of the things today. I can\\u2019t wait.\\xa0\\xa0

Hi Yvonne\\u2026

Talk about the blogs on The Agojie People portrayed in The Woman King and the blog on Annie Turnbo Malone.\\xa0 I actually went straight to the Annie Turnbo Malone post because, well there is a lot of history, most of it negative, unfortunately, about black hair. I did not know she developed and patented the straightening comb! Your blogs are very informative Yvonne!\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Before we get started, can you tell us about the photo project you were a part of, and if there is a link or website we can go to?

\\xa0

Tell us about your role or contribution to The Gateway Women\\u2019s Reignite weekend workshops.\\xa0

And you are training to be a therapist. Do you have a certain topic in mind will it be geared to childless not by choice?

And Ted (Talk) tell us about Ted now that you\\u2019ve put the word out.

I\'ll also be taking part in the WhittyGordon Projects \'Edge Of Visibility\' Film - The film is about changing the narrative about women over 50 as being past it and recognising and shining light on strong women who are embracing the next phase of their lives in a way that is individual, creative and unapologetic.

I know you said you would be doing a Talk at the Recovery College \\u2018Childlessness\\u2019 session about on Dealing with the Loss of Motherhood, is that done or is it upcoming?\\xa0

Thank you for all you do in the childless not by choice community, and in particular for the women of color in the childless not by choice community. Any final words for the listeners before we go?\\xa0
