Self-Love Matters…

In a way it seems to be such a simple concept, doesn’t it? Yet no matter how glamorous one is, it seems Self-Love is something nearly all of us struggle with. Conscious Self-Love takes time and practice and an understanding that you deserve joy. You are worthy. You are enough.

Join me on Warm Hugs with Suzanne as I speak with Solange Tuyishime Keita about her traumatic life growing up. I ask Solange about her extraordinary growth as a global leader and philanthropist to women and children worldwide. Solange also talks to us about what the pageant world means to her.

On this podcast journey, we deep dive into Self-Love. Solange speaks candidly about how she has come to understand just how much Self-Love Matters after years of trauma. Self-Love has helped Solange to focus on her mission and realise that “until we genuinely love ourselves, we aren’t there wholeheartedly.”

This is a must-see/listen-to episode.

There are many types of bravery but perhaps the bravest of all is being brave enough to show up as your true self. To love unashamedly. To grieve with an open heart. To live your truth.

Lillian Haynes is a testament to this bravery, as is her inspiration Kiara Echaniz. Lilli is 19 years old and has recently published "dear Kiara: A Biographical Poetry Collection" with Kiara's parents Anne and Paul. Kiara's is a story of a young girl who loved her family and the rest of the world fiercely. Beyond preserving Kiara's story, "dear Kiara" shines a light on grief, our humanity, suicide and its signs.

Also in this episode, Lilli and I discuss the impact of being a third-culture kid. We look at the importance of not only having a village but being a villager. Grief is a human condition, we talk about the different ways we express grief and the importance of grieving.

Lilli most often expresses her emotions through poetry. I am incredibly proud to highlight some of her poems that were inspired by Kiara and found within "dear Kiara". Lilli's depth of emotion is palpable.
