27 AUG 2024 · Today, on Shaping Freedom, I sit down with author, speaker, mother, and someone so full of love and wisdom, Abby Kamen. Coming hot off the release of her new book Generation We, we discuss how trauma can affect us all. While not all trauma may be created equal, we are all equal in the baggage that we carry in the aftermath of our pasts.
In this powerful episode, we discuss how reexamining the relationship with our trauma can help us to reconnect with a kinder and more forgiving version of ourselves, how her son’s challenges in finding his place in the world helped her to redefine what it means to be human and actually taking the time to feel the grief we all experience.

20 AUG 2024 · Today, on Shaping Freedom, I have the honor of welcoming an incredible athlete, NLP practitioner, and personal friend, Chukky Okobi. Chukky isn’t your typical mental and spiritual guide, at least not on the surface.
Chukky started his career as an NFL player for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but after his time in the professional sports world, he felt that his own personal life was lacking a sense of direction and clarity.
This is where he discovered the power of neuro-linguistic programming, how to restructure the ways that we talk with ourselves, and how we define ourselves. Together we will sit down with Chukky to explore his life after the NFL, what he discovered about spiritualism, how we think about our self-identity, and how to rethink our lives after our careers change.

8 AUG 2024 · Today on Shaping Freedom, we ask what it means to support creators as they step into the world of business. For too long, artists and creatives have found themselves left out of the world of business acumen, including the marketing and the finances around their work.
Enter Ian Davis, Founder of Age of the Creative. Davis founded his consultancy with the mission of equipping and empowering the artist and creative community with the resources to expand and to be their highest and best selves. In this episode, we discuss what it means to be a creator in the business world and how we can find better ways to support the creative community, so that they can not only produce their work authentically, but also find tangible success.

1 AUG 2024 · Welcome to Shaping Freedom, I’m your host Lisane Basquiat. When you think of hip-hop, a common image is that of a “hard” man who is strong, stoic, and above all else, perfect. However, we both know this isn’t possible. Men struggle with the same mental health challenges we all struggle with.
Today, I sit down with Shanti Das founder of Silence the Shame, a mental health foundation. As more famous artists open up about the challenges everyone faces without prejudice the more people can access the help they need.
After tragedy struck Shanti’s personal life, her public life became one of health and healing. She will dive into how this tragedy has guided her, how her work within the hip-hop community has bled out into wide-reaching groups, and how it’s time that men finally talk about their feelings in a more honest and real way.

25 JUL 2024 · In this episode’s conversation with Antonio Neves, we explore some of the most pressing issues affecting modern men–and women. We talk about how to get out of that comfort zone that’s leaving you unfulfilled and find alignment through community, self-exploration, and a little time in nature.
Antonio’s newest book, Stop Living on Autopilot, is an informative and inspirational look at why so many of us are left feeling unfulfilled while chasing (and even attaining) the American Dream. We discuss modern men’s mental health and the two most dangerous words you can hear a man say.
Then we’ll explore some of the common misconceptions holding you back from living a life where you can feel happy, comfortable, and fulfilled. And we’ll give you some actionable steps to inspire you to turn off autopilot and start exploring your inner and outer world. Invest in yourself for this next hour or so, you’re going to walk away with some powerful things to think about and do.

18 JUL 2024 · In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Raquel Martin, a licensed clinical psychologist and professor at Tennessee State University and Host of the “Mind Ya Mental Podcast,” Dr. Martin's work extends beyond academia and what drew me to a conversation with her is that she openly states that she believes deeply in the power of black mental wealth, emphasizing its role in legacy building and longevity.
We talk about Dr. Martin's journey and her understanding of Black mental wealth. It is important to recognize our values and boundaries and the power of music on mental health and the community, as well as discuss where to get the best tools to build a better Black future.

4 JAN 2024 · In this two-part episode of Shaping Freedom, Lisane interviews Kevin Powell, a poet with Jersey roots and a Grammy nomination tucked under his belt, about family, resilience, and his album, "Grocery Shopping with My Mother," birthed from real-life trips to the store with his ailing mom.
Listen as we explore love, health, and his surprise Grammy nomination.
In the second part of this powerful conversation, Liasane and Kevin both look at the responsibilities and influences that creatives and their works have regarding the world and society around them. They later transition into why the creative’s journey is so important to shaping them and their works.
Key takeaways:
The journey that creatives take in their personal lives is critical to who they become and how that influences their works in both the positive and negative spaces.
Creatives and activists, really alone with a public voice have a deep responsibility to guide the world towards love and kindness.
The people will listen to folks like Kevin and Lisanne and they will connect. It’s important to use that voice for everyone.The spiritual and mental sickness that we feel in our society and Kevin’s experiences grappling and overcoming his battles with the sickness in our society.
This second episode pulls back the curtain on who Kevin Powell is and what events shaped his work, his soul, and his outlook on life, love, and how to show up for the people who listen to his words. The rest of this interview goes far beyond a simple conversation about what inspired a writer.
No, it shows the world that every creative out there has a responsibility to be a positive influence and spread nothing but love and respect for all who come to hear their words.You can find Kevin Powell’s incredible new book in print https://softskull.com/books/grocery-shopping-with-my-mother/.

The importance of focusing on what we want to see in the world and speaking from a place of love rather than negativity.
Influencers from his mother, his first teacher and leader, to the anti-apartheid movement, hip-hop culture, and the writing of Langston Hughes, Malcolm X, and Audre Lorde.
