  Aug 13, 202654 min

  What happens when the people you serve can't simply be put on pause during a pandemic? In this episode of Turning Point , K. Patrice Williams sits down with Edie Thomas , Executive Director of Connections for Life , to discuss the realities of supporting people with significant disabilities during COVID-19 and what it took to keep a nonprofit operating through unprecedented disruption. Edie shares how her organization rapidly shifted from a traditional, paper-driven office to a largely remote operation while continuing essential in-home support. From restructuring schedules and adopting tools like Zoom and DocuSign to reducing office space and finding nonprofit technology discounts, she offers a candid look at adaptability, leadership, and keeping people at the center of every decision. Key Takeaways: Adaptability can keep the mission moving: Connections for Life rapidly changed its systems, technology, staffing, and physical operations while continuing essential services. People with disabilities need inclusion, not separation: Advocacy means creating access to employment, housing, transportation, healthcare, community life, and opportunities to live as independently as possible. Strong organizations are built around people: Dedicated frontline staff, adaptable leadership, and a supportive board helped the organization navigate difficult decisions while keeping the health, safety, and dignity of the people they serve at the center.

  Release, Surrender & Create: Building Your Vision for the New Year with K. Patrice Williams & Dr. Monique Hunt

  Aug 13, 20261h 16m

  Before you rush into setting new goals, what if the first step is deciding what you don't want to carry with you? In this interactive episode of Turning Point , K. Patrice Williams welcomes her friend and spiritual teacher Dr. Monique Hunt , founder of the Ancestor Wisdom School , for a guided workshop on closing one chapter and intentionally creating the next. Using a vision box rather than a traditional vision board, Dr. Monique walks listeners through releasing difficult experiences, surrendering unfinished goals, practicing gratitude, visualizing what they want to create, and turning that vision into intentional action. The conversation also explores how service, gratitude, and regularly revisiting your goals can keep your vision alive throughout the year. Key Take aways: Release before you rebuild: Let go of experiences, emotions, and unfinished expectations you don't want to carry forward. Create the vision as though you're living it: Get specific about what you want, how it feels, and how your success will allow you to serve and support others. Your vision requires action: Revisit your vision box regularly, celebrate what's manifested, surrender what no longer resonates, and identify the steps you can take each week to move forward.

Patrice Williams sits down with Dr. Shandi Fuller , Deputy Health Officer for Solano County, for a powerful conversation about Black maternal and infant health, racial inequities in healthcare, and the work of Solano HEALS: Health Equity for African American/Black Lives . Dr. Fuller discusses the disparities affecting Black mothers and infants, including higher rates of infant mortality and serious childbirth complications. She also shares how Solano HEALS is responding through community-centered prenatal care, healthcare-provider equity training, mental health resources, and initiatives designed to ensure Black women and families are heard, valued, and supported throughout their healthcare journey.

Black women deserve to be heard and feel safe in healthcare: Self-advocacy matters, but healthcare systems and providers must also take responsibility for creating equitable, respectful, and responsive care. Community must be part of the solution: Solano HEALS centers Black families in its work and invites residents to become community champions who help shape strategies and solutions. Connect: Host: K.
