Just Because Someone is Grown, Doesn't Mean They're Growing
Just Because Someone is Grown, Doesn't Mean They're Growing. One more time. Just Because Someone is Grown, Doesn't Mean They're Growing. That is the challenge Felicia has found herself in with her mother, and Karega has found himself in with a loved one. In reality, we all have found ourselves presented with the challenge of loving someone who isn't necessarily on the same trajectory of growth, wellness, or knowing as you. It is in this moment of investigation that we all join Karega & Felicia as we work through just how to hold and make space for those who challenge our growth.Felicia's book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mothers Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

Reframing Comparision
Sometimes you need to reframe the reframe, and that lesson comes bright and early on a Monday. For Felicia it came in the form of comparison. We all have those moments when we wonder why we aren't where that other person is, EVEN if it's someone we love dearly. It is when we sit in those feelings and those thoughts that we are given the opportunity to process and move forward in them and find who we are. Is it just comparison? Is it a different form a grief? Is it all of the above and more?Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

The Conflicts and Challenges That Arise Out of Stubbornness
In potty training Kamali, Felicia and Karega find new knowings in the concept of "being stubborn" and how one learns.

Grieving on the Corner of Hope and Hopelessness
How does one process the loss of someone who still had so much more to tell? Of a loss that feels too soon? Karega asks this as he processes the loss of one of his former students from DC, Troy, to gun violence. Troy, like so many of Karega's students, taught Karega just as much as he taught them. There was so much more to them than people were willing to see or understand, but Troy was able to communicate it all through poetry. Poetry that sits with and influences Karega to this day unfortunately now, through his absence. Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

The Love Calls for us to Unify
As Felicia reflects on her now 36th birthday, she recalls what the past few birthdays have looked like even as she has shared this space with you all. The changes that are naturally occurring in life have made their way and even the moments of celebration look different. While discussing that moment, allows to Karega reflect on a trip back east that he took with his father just before his dad's 70th birthday.

The Spectrum of Celebration
Celebration in grief looks different. Celebration after grief looks different. Celebration after milestones looks different. What it all shows us is that there is no one way to celebrate, and that our differences are not deficits. As Felicia recounts how a birthday celebration with her long time friend looks different know than it did when they first started celebrating birthdays over a decade ago, it allows space for all of us to take a moment and reflect on not only the necessity of joy, but the specialness of Black sisterhood.Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

Today I Choose to Practice Love
Practicing Love. Sit with that statement for a second. How often do we treat love as a practice or a philosophy? Do we realize that love, as with all things, changes and grows? That it requires us to study, and practice it? That it will test us? Push us? Today Karega and Felicia discuss moments that have challenged their practice of love, BUT have also allowed for a sort of mastery of certain facets of it. Even as it changes and grows, continuing to PRACTICE LOVE allows us to grow in love.Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

The Ongoing Process of Healing
"Everything I am feeling in my grief is normal. Acknowledging these emotions is the ongoing process of healing."Today Felicia and Karega share about another loss and how they are feeling as they navigate this new grief. What lessons have they learned not only from Kamaiu, but from other losses that allow them to keep growing, to keep moving, and to keep walking in faith? How does comparison weigh so heavy while looking at one's own journey? There are no set answers. We ask you to join us in reflection as we all try to better understand the process behind the creation of the conditions to acknowledge our grief.

I Speak to Resolve What's Conflicting Inside
Felicia did not make it to the gym today. She was dressed for the gym. She had planned on going to the gym, was ready will and able, but it didn't happen. She did, however, make it to the store. It was while she at the store she had a chance run in with a man who she had never met. It was through conversation with him, that she found out that they shared something in common: the loss of a daughter. Through this conversation, Felicia realizes how much healing comes from speaking about Kamaiu, and Karega helps frame the experience through his experiences of loss and healing.

A Reflection of Where I Come From
Oftentimes, we find ourselves trying to piece together the pieces of ourselves. These pieces become more apparent when we see them reflected back at us through our children. Today, Felicia has her Mommy sitting in with her in reflection of not only her journey as a mother, but in parenting. How do all these pieces fall together, and what does the journey look like from the perspective of the person who gave you life? What do you see now that you are dealing with the tiny reflection of yourself?

The Miracle and Wonder of Grief
Grief can manifest itself in a many ways, especially when someone is taken from us too soon. Today, Karega and Felicia discuss how they spent their weekend with mothers who have lost their children too soon. What they discovered is that these strong black women, who have experienced such tragedies, still find a reason to be joyous even though they carry such pain everyday. Karega speaks on how he is in awe of these mothers, including his very own wife, because of the strength they have shown through so much adversity. He realizes that grief doesn't only have to be a weight around your neck, but can also be the very thing that saves you.

The Gift of Impermanence
We all know that nothing lasts forever but, for a 2 year old like Kamali, you have nothing but time. Today Karega and Felicia discuss their recent trip with Kamali to Atlanta to visit close friends. While traveling, Karega experienced a series of moments with Kamali that caused him to reflect on the fact that even though Kamaili is only two, there are things, as she gets older and matures, that she won't ask him or Felicia to do any more. The great thing about Kamali, even though she is growing everyday, she always finds ways to bring Karega and Felicia in the present to remind them that while time doesn't stop, being present in the moment allows them to appreciate those times before they are gone.

Your thoughts and self talk can have very powerful effects on your mental and spiritual health. Karega and Felicia both reflect on what it means to slow down and take time for themselves.

The Mindset We Have in Our Growth
The heavy rainy season has Karega thinking about seasons, restarts, harvests and what growth should look like. To go even deeper, what he thought his growth should look like after everything he went through. Seeds and fruit and even the trees have shown him that growth does not look the same and neither does our growth. Especially our growth through grief. Having patience for ourselves is key as we do not all grow the same way. ========Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

Who I Am in This Moment
Kamali celebrated her second birthday last week (!) and while there was much to celebrate, there was also a period of reflection. Felicia and Karega take a moment to discuss the parallels between those who came through for them in this period of celebration and those who were there for them during their period of grief. Perhaps just as important, how different it is to be in this specific moment with a child earthside versus being parents of a child in heaven.========Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

There is No Reframe Without Rest
Having a toddler is hard, and Kamali is not as respectful to the needs of rest as one would expect of a two year old. You might know this about Felicia, but she loves her sleep. Like, it is a high priority. And there is no room for reframing things when there is no rest!However, there is more to this situation than Kamali being a toddler and the lack of sleep. It is about what we had planned, especially through our grief journey. The vision for our lives, the lives we had planned for ourselves, did not come to fruition. Sometimes the reframe is hard when you're thinking about the what ifs. ========Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

I'm Speaking as an Act of Self Love
Karega has released his new project Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" into the universe and reflects on what it means on not only what it means to be an artist, but on what it means to use music and rap/ hip-hop as a way of processing his grief. Specifically, as one has to navigate the grind of promoting and selling this art and legacy project which means more than just a commodity. Is there a way to find balance in trying to build something greater than the machine of promotion and follows and likes especially with something so important to the whole family unit?Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN. ========Felicia's new book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mothers Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

Grieving the Person That I Thought I Was
Felicia needs to make a change in her life. One that, on the surface level, is simple. She needs to cut her hair. Now, as Karega will tell you (and show you) Felicia has rocked every style under the sun. However, in this moment the impending change is different. As Felicia sits with it, she realizes that even something that she has done dozens of times before, now has a new association with it, and it ties into grief and Kamaiu. As grief is ever changing and evolving, Felicia and Karega reflect on how this moment is very much part of the experience of grief and just how the personal and individual each person's process is.========Felicia's new book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mothers Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

Telling My Truth is Part of My Wellness
In their journey of grief, Karega and Felicia have each have had their own very individual processes in how they feel in sharing Kamaiu's story. Their truths vary as their experiences have varied. As the couple vulnerably shares, this ain't fair. None of it is fair and in all reality, no one would choose this path over having their loved one. Grief is wild that way. However, that is why Karega and Felicia create these tools of reference AND why the reframe is so important even for themselves; because it is easy to fall into the trap of the what ifs and the not fairs as opposed to the living in the now.========Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

What is Present May Not Always Be Visible in the Moment
"What is present may not always be visible in the moment. At the right moment it will be seen. Its relevance requires its process and cannot be rushed."SOL Affirmations was (once again) nominated for an Ambie award which this time took them to Vegas. While in reflection, Karega and Felicia note how all of this, the podcast and the stories that they share in it, start with Kamaiu and the story that they never wanted to tell. Felicia never wanted anything to come from the loss of her first daughter, and yet through her sharing her story, the story of being Kamaiu's mother, they have created so much space for reference and for community, and how others in this podcasting community have lifted them up and made space for them.Make sure you check out the Ambies nominated podcasts Queue Points, Direct Deposit, and the Ambies Award Winning Queer News!========Karega's New Album Legacy Lounge Season 1 "Legacy Talk Only" is AVAILABLE NOW through EVEN.

Wrestling with Joy During the Holidays
The holidays are a time of joy for most. It's when we come together with family and friends and celebrate. However when we have lost someone we have loved, the holidays are not JUST the holidays. Sometimes the grief feels like it is fighting with the joy of the season. Karega and Felicia share just what this third year holiday season without Kamaiu on this plane is like and how navigating it with a very joyous Kamali looks like. Plus how has it changed on the journey to here. Afterall, grief isn't linear.

The Bridges of Connectedness
There's just something special about being connected to your people. We all get to decide who those people are. Relatives, chosen family, and in this instance, Karega & Felicia mean their fellow Hampton Alums. It was homecoming and the trip not only allowed them the room to explore what being around other Black people and going to an HBCU meant to them, but what that community has meant to them since graduating. ========Felicia's new book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mothers Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

SOL Affirmations Presents: Man to Man - A Black Love Wellness Series
Black men, it's time to get real with each other. Wellness, self-love, finance, nutrition; these are just a few topics Black Love Inc General Manager David Wasicki will be bringing to the forefront in Man to Man: A Black Love Wellness Series. Each week the topics will change, but the insights & lessons gained from Black men of all walks of life will remain constant. Man to Man serves as a platform for men to get real-life insight directly from notable, successful men who lead with the honesty and vulnerability that Black Love is known for. Toxic masculinity. What is it? Is it really an issue or is it some buzzword? We brought in two brothers to have a conversation about masculinity in all forms, but especially centered around being Black men: Karega Bailey, artist, educator, and angel father, and King Jay Barnett, author, speaker, and mental health therapist. Perhaps more important than the question of what is toxic masculinity is “how do we acknowledge behavior that is toxic that seems to be consistently perpetrated by men”? Honestly, there are so many questions and points asked that this is only one piece of the framework necessary for healing. But we have to start somewhere, and this is a great start with two phenomenal men.Make sure you show Karega and Jay love on ig @karegabailey and @kingjaybarnettHave suggestions on who David should go Man to Man with next?

I Give Myself Permission to Feel How I Feel
As we move into the last quarter of the year Karega reflects on slowing down and finally allowing himself to feel all the things. It's easy to get caught up in time as you push through the front half of the year, but in this period it seems almost necessary to talk stock. More importantly, it is okay to allow ourselves to take those moments and actually pause and feel all the things we've put off to the side for the sake of moving forward. Listen in as the Baileys process in real time their very real emotions around felling and acknowledging their grief in real time, even as everything around them seems to be continuing on.========Black Love is Forever!

There is this notion that going full force into will get you over it and Karega and Felicia have realized that such is not the case.

Sometimes the Art is Showing Up to the Day Differently Than You've Done Before
Felicia and Karega reflect on how Kamaiu's 3rd birthday looked so much different than her first two. As a family trip gave room for not only reflection into what the family unit looks like now that Kamali is here, but in how they now acknowledge Kamaiu as she shows up differently than she had in the past. Angel parenthood is constantly changing and adjusting and there is always beauty in the reframe. This Saturday October 15th Karega & Felicia are hosting an Angel Parent Lunch Retreat in Oakland, CA to create room for connectedness among families, affirm our Angel Parent identity, and honor our Angel Babies. This retreat will include lunch, space for writing, and facilitated conversation.

Healing Families with Kennedy's Angel Gowns
Angel parenthood comes to everyone differently, and everyone processes uniquely. Karega and Felicia first came to know of Heather and Demitri Wilson when they were invited to be guest speakers at their event, "The Angel Ball". It was then that they came to know their story. Seven years after losing their daughter Kennedy on August 17, 2009, the idea of sewing burial gowns for infants came to Heather Wilson‘s mind. Kennedy didn’t have an appropriate or properly fitted gown for her burial, but Heather hoped others didn’t have to face the same problem. Dedicating herself to sewing “angel gowns” and together helping others in their time of grief is the best way the Wilsons keep the memory of Kennedy alive. Listen in as Heather and Demitri share not only what keeping Kennedy's memory alive does for their grief, but how they continue to process and honor her today and always.To learn more on how you can support Heather, Demitri, and Kennedy's Angel Gowns visit their website or you can CLICK HERE if you'd like to make a contribution.========Felicia's new book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mothers Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

The Fear of Being Misunderstood
When trying to share how one is dealing or processing grief there is always the fear of misunderstanding. At least this has been true for Felicia. There was a fear that when she shared her story on Black Love Doc that folks wouldn't understand. There's the fear that when people hear short clips of the podcast people will jump to their own conclusions and misunderstand. It's a real fear that when paired with the weight of grief is overwhelming. Many times it has even stopped them from sharing their story in spaces. This week, Felicia and Karega process in real time what those experiences have taught them, and how they have grown from them.========Felicia's new book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mothers Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

Honoring the Heart Work
"I honor my reality and the heart work it requires to embrace my truth. I do not have to escape my feelings or rise above them. They are true and I will let them be true."What happens when the disbelief of manifestation holds true? When one cannot honor the truth of what they have done because the grief will not allow them to embrace their truth?

The Grief Connection with Rexx Life Raj
There's something about grief that has a way of building connections. There is a community in grief as the process, while unique to each individual and situation is a universal concept. During Karega and Felicia's deepest period of grief they found the music of Rexx Life Raj . His lyrics connected to their experiences in a way that they couldn't necessarily find words for at the time. Nor did they think that others shared certain aspects of their grief experiences until they heard Rexx mention it. Today, Karega and Felicia sit down with Rexx Life Raj to discuss his music, grief, community, and all that comes with it.CLICK HERE if you would like to ask Karega & Felicia a question.========Felicia's new book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mothers Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

Exploring My Emotions is an Act of Self Love
Peace Good People! As Karega was setting up some music for a car ride, one track came on that has a tendency to follow him. It was from the SOL Affirmations album (track 23 to be specific).

Through this journey of finding themselves in the work, Karega and Felicia have created a community. But this isn't a one-time jawn. Connectedness and exploring one's self is a continuous process.

Living Without Comparison
Peace good people! As Felicia starts to settle into 2022 she is called to look inward as a point of reflection. Reflection is typical at the start of a new year, or journey, as it allows one to take in the events of the past and how it affects the future. However, what also can happen is the comparisons. The comparison to friends, to influencers, to family members, all of whom have led a different path than yours. What could you have done to experience the successes that you perceive of those around you? Or, the more important question, should you be even comparing yourself to their experiences in the first place?Felicia's new book SOL Affirmations: A Toolkit for Mother's Who Are Investigating Grief's Process is available now!

Love is a Bridge Builder
Peace good people! Felicia and Karega (and Kamali and Auntie LaLa) are back from the Black Love Summit! In this episode the couple shares just how affirming it was to be in a space with people they love and who love them, the work that it took to get from Oakland to LA and back, and the beauty in being in a space where Black folks can just connect. However, the time of the year is not lost and Felicia and Karega know that while some might be showered in the joy that comes with connecting with loved ones in celebration, others are navigating this time with grief still heavy in their hearts.

Intentional Communication
Karega and Felicia discuss the complexities of communication. Ensuring that someone feels heard can be more important than simply hearing the words come out when communicating with one another. It is said by many that effective communication requires more listening than talking.

The Storm is Happening for Me
I am a child of answered prayers, and all that I need is within me. Life is happening for me, not to me. And because of this, I will have gratitude in all lessons. This affirmation is one that Felicia has found herself avoiding as she wrestled around answered prayers. She realizes that this affirmation from Karega's book sits differently for someone sitting in grief which is why she has been struggling to process it. Today as she and Karega process in real-time, they both reflect on how they come to this affirmation now. How has their faith and experiences changed their perceptions, and what is it like to process while the storm is happening?As always, thank you all for your love.

SOL Affirmations with Karega and Felicia
Karega Bailey and Felicia Gangloff-Bailey have experienced extreme happiness and endured unimaginable pain but have made it their mission to transform their reality of loss and grief as angel parents. They understand grief is complex but also incredibly sacred. SOL Affirmations will honor the stories of those experiencing grief, and will act as a space to radically connect to the deepest parts of our humanity. Felicia and Karega know that grief gives us access to a very special part of hearts, the part of us that has the power to love what our eyes cannot see and arms cannot hold. Grief is Love. Every week SOL Affirmations will frame this in context to access its power.
