"Taking the Innocence of my Name." Interview w/Kat Mayer

Today on Pillar Talk with Rochelle, Family & Youth Pastor Katherine "Kat" Mayer profoundly teaches us the power of "names." As a transplant from Nothern California, she was quickly introduced to different names used in the mid-west as a sign of respect that she would eventually understand and accept. That was a smooth adjustment compared to reclaiming her given name because of the painful associations. But now, to hear Katherine now is endearing.

In honor of Kat's ordination this upcoming Sunday, we invite you to tune in to hear why it's essential to know your worth and the power of names. Honest. Meaningful. Inspirational. Vulnerable. You don't want to miss it!

"I'm Your Father's Daughter." Interview w/Irene Justiniano

Today on Pillar Talk with Rochelle, Associate Director of Strategy Irene Justianio welcomes us to experience the rich and diverse Hispanic culture. But, unfortunately, from New York to Louisville, she is no stranger to identity theft. Sadly, some people think she's not brown enough, but she is proud to be Puerto Rican and will represent her community with her heart outside of her body. So in honor and celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, check out this powerful and insightful interview with Irene. She's an "ordinary girl trying to do extraordinary things to help those around her." Passionate. Heartfelt. Inspirational. Awareness.

"Vulnerability is like Nakedness." Interview w/Charlotte Hazelwood.

Today on Pillar Talk with Rochelle, college student, educator, and amazing auntie Charlotte Hazelwood gets naked with us as an act of love." To be vulnerable and essentially naked in front of someone, broken and weak, and to have them love you in that space makes me feel special." However, Charlotte feels most loved when she's her authentic self, and someone accepts that. So we invite you to join us in Charlotte's web of love—Love is selflessness. Love is going beyond what someone expects. Love is taking really good care of someone. —Charlotte Hazelwood

"I was a good black friend." Interview w/Joi.

Today on Pillar Talk with Rochelle, corporate education professional Joi Williams owns her story and is on her way to fully embrace her DNA. Growing up, she always had a little, but enough. However, compared to what her more affluent friends at school had, it led her to want to fit in with the dominant culture. Raised to be well-spoken and articulate, Joi became "the good Black friend." As a child, she found the acceptance she longed for, but today, Joi is using her voice to educate others that language matters and one should seek to understand different people. She also teaches her children that their blackness is beautiful.
