What do girls need? With Thema Campbell, Founder & CEO of Girl Power Miami
What do girls need? What do girls need in light of COVID 19? What kind of support do girls need? How can you help girls right now? What type of encouragement do girls need? How can I support my daughter’s mental health? Do girls need male role models?
In this interview with Thema Campbell, Founder & CEO of Girl Power Miami she answers these questions and more. This episode is the second of a series of episodes that is sponsored by the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA and will highlight the creative women business owners in their community.
Here are a few things that we discussed:
What Thema is passionate about She is passionate about giving the best of her. Praying, meditating, and being mindful of the people in her life. She emphasized that it's important to honor what your body needs, especially during this pandemic. So don’t beat yourself up if you have a lazy on the couch, watching tv all day, kind of day. But going back to mediation is something she goes back to “because it’s steady, it’s reliable, and you can see the benefits of it in your life”.
What the women in her life taught her Thema is from Georgia and had multiple women in her life that brought different things into her life. They taught her the importance of being physically active and how to cook. Most importantly, they taught her the importance of honesty. She learnt about the importance of touch from another friend.

(ep 10) What is wellness and how do I begin my wellness journey? An interview with wellness coach Nzingah Oniwosan
What is wellness and how do I begin my wellness journey? An interview with wellness coach Nzingah Oniwosan
What is wellness? How can women start their wellness journey during Covid-19? What is society’s outlook on wellness? Do western medicine and holistic wellness go together? How long will my wellness journey take? How can I remain consistent on my wellness journey?
“Make acceptable goals. Don’t try to climb Mount Kilimanjaro when you barely walk in your neighborhood!”
In this interview, we sat down with Nzingah Oniwosan, my wellness coach, and talked about various topics such as holistic wellness, tips on starting your wellness journey, Nzingah’s wellness journey, how she is learning more about Haitian wellness practices, her travel experiences, and her favorite wellness spots.
Nzingah is a holistic health consultant and alchemist under her brand “Yes Baby I Like it Raw”. She currently lives in South Florida and guides people on their wellness journey. In addition Nzingah also is a visual artist, a poet, and founder of a small business incubator in Haiti.
As a child, Nzingah was always fond of her Haitian culture. Her grandmother and parents did a great job of imbedding their knowledge and ways of her birth culture within her. Nzingah was taught to be unapologetic about who she was and the value of speaking Creole her native tongue. Her father and grandmother are both experts in Haitian herbs and this helped encourage Nzingah’s thirst for knowledge.

So, what is a question Nzingah would ask other women?
“How are you loving yourself? Are you loving yourself like you’re loving everyone else?”
How does Nzingah define a woman?
“Sweet, sour,
Strong, vulnerable.
Made of stardust
And a little bit of heaven.
…we are complicated, I love it!”
