Yesterday, I got a chance to interview a woman named, Sesily Coleman from Atlanta, GA. Sesily and I have been Facebook friends for many years now, after meeting through a natural hair fb group. We have yet to meet in person, but have chatted a few times over the years. I've always been attracted to Sesily's energy, and boldness. When I learned that Sesily lost her husband to a senseless murder over 9 years ago, I immediately knew I wanted to hear her story. She agreed with no hesitation. Today, I'll be sharing her story with you guys. It's so raw and real. I know it's for someone out there who has dealt with the raw and realness of grief. Sesily talks openly about what life has been like for her, and her two children, since the loss of her husband. She talks about how if you do not deal with it, grief will always catch up with you. Sesily shares about her journey through counseling, and why we need to erase the stigma associated with therapy in the black community.

On this episode of FROREALDOE on Air, host Valaencia Thompson, chats with solo travel blogger, Gloria Atanmo. Glo, is the best friend and enabler everyone needs in their life. She is a full-time travel blogger, best-selling author, and has been featured in The Huffington Post, Thought Catalog, Elite Daily, Matador Network, Buzzfeed, Ebony Magazine, and more. Her travels have taken her to almost 60 countries across 5 continents, on a mission to spread love and joy to every corner of the world. She wants to show women that living your best life needs no one's permission, and there's a world of knowledge out there that simply can't be taught in a classroom. She shares some of the challenges she faced after leaving home with only $500, and deciding to travel the world. This episode is full of laughs, inspiration, and motivation to not play it safe all the time. Catch up with Glo: @glographics www.theblogabroad.com
