Being Single feat. CK (Clara Kahwa) (025)

Talk Truth with Mario Evon

02/09/20 • 77 min

In this episode, I speak to Recording Artiste, CK aka Clara Kahwa about being single. Clara is a passionate and beautiful human with an electric energy, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to have this exciting conversation with. She has been single for many years, and candidly expresses her journey as a single woman in Jamaica and her desires for her future relationships. We covered the following:

Tell me about CK?
How long have you been single?
What has the single journey been like?
How long did it take to heal from your breakup?
Types of single:
- Single not looking
- Single think they’re ready
- Single and open
You had a “mental health situation”, was it pre-existing or did it emerge from a breakup?
Tell me a bit about your single experience in Jamaica?
“The person you need to show up for is you. Love doesn’t show up when we are hoping for it but when we are ready for it. Focus on manifesting the person you want to be. Grow so fast that every time you feel there is a need you want someone else to meet, you rise to meet that need yourself.” - Vishen Lakhiani
I speak a little about being single.
CK asks me who did I speak to when I was going through heartbreak?
Comment on your fear of stumbling upon a gay or bisexual man as your boyfriend?
Would you date a bisexual man?
Children. Yes or no? How many?
Online Dating. Yes or no?
Do you have a lower age limit for dating? What’s the lowest you’d go?
Would you date outside of your race?
Would you date outside of your culture?
Do you date yourself?
What are some words of advice to single women/men waiting and hoping?

CK BIO:
Bringing a personal touch to her creative journey, recording artiste, CK, is becoming more open about her life experiences, both personally & professionally, and now she is setting out to make her mark in the world driven by passion & purpose.

Coming on the scene in 2012 with a reggae cover of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colours", CK's sound evolved and was solidified on her most popular track "Body of the year "with Konshens.

As she searched to continue to develop and hone her sound over the years, she also started out her journey in Philanthropy in March 2019. For the1st time publicly she shared her experience with Depression & Suicide as a teenager at the launch of the mental health initiative, "Safe Space" and has since been the facilitator for the sessions held, as well as participated in other mental health initiatives as a keynote speaker in both public & corporate spaces.

CK is very passionate about authenticity and being honest with & about herself and is excited to bring her audience in on these moments on and off the stage. She believes that you should be UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU and “Show up” in your life in a way that allows for you to introduce your greatness and boldness to the World.

TRANSCRIPTION:

THE ANATOMY OF A DREAM

This episode was initially inspired by the legacy of Kobe Bryant and his 2017 Animation short, ‘Dear Basketball’. I saw it for the first time after the passing of Kobe and it was truly engaging, realistic, inspiring and honest. Without spoiling it, it describes a young boy who falls in love with basketball and does everything in his power to make it his reality. It made me think a lot about my life and journey falling in love with music and wanting to make it my reality.

In the January 2017 article by John C. Maxwell in Success Magazine, he gives a definition of a dream that I like. He said, “A dream is an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it. A dream worth pursuing is a picture and blueprint of a person's purpose and potential.”

There are so many important words in that definition such as INSPIRING, FUTURE, ENERGIZES, EMPOWERING YOU TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO ACHIEVE IT, BLUEPRINT OF A PERSON’S PURPOSE AND POTENTIAL.

So today I wanted to talk a little bit about that blueprint, the features, parts or the anatomy of a dream. Some of these features include:

The dream has to be YOURS - The genesis of YOUR dream can only come from within you. Caroline Myss (pronounced Mace) said: “People suffer when they pursue a life or chase a dream that doesn't belong to them.” This powerful quote made me think of the many people that are suffering because they chased a dream that belonged to other people such as their parents or partner or some other person of influence who led to them to believe a particular path was right for them, and derail them from a path that they should have chosen.
A dream must make you uncomfortable ...if even only slighty - Though I ultimately feel the fulfilment of your dreams will make you one of the happiest persons ever, nothing that you want that bad rarely ever comes easy. I remember my first days in music college in the United States sitting in the cafeteria alone, seeing many people that looked and sounded different from me, having conversations that I couldn’t relate to, thinking ‘What in the world have I done’. Sleeping on an uncomfortable single dorm room bed at 27 years of age, enduring brutal winters and sharing a communal sho...
