Breaking the Silence: How The Fibroid Pandemic is Helping Women Save Their Wombs

Written by The Recap Report Staff on June 20, 2023. Posted in Featured, Health and Beauty, Lifestyle.

Fibroids are mysterious growth that affects women as early as age 15 and affect Black women 3x more than other ethnicities. With an unknown cause, many women may not know where to turn which is why advocate LaToya Dwight uses her intersectionality of insurance expertise and a personal fibroid journey to help others save their uterus through her platform The Fibroid Pandemic. With their second annual Run F.A.R 5K Walk/Run and panel discussion on July 14-15, 2023, is helping women take ownership of their bodies.

Fighting A Silent Epidemic

The Fibroid Pandemic Founder LaToya Dwight’s Fibroid journey was an unexpected one after a routine check-up with her OB/GYN. She vividly recalls going in for her contraception maintenance, when her doctor couldn’t locate her IUD. After being referred to an ultrasound specialist, not only did they find her IUD, but they found fibroids. She later found herself taken aback after her doctor failed to educate her on her diagnosis and quickly recommended a hysterectomy.

After a separate visit to get her IUD replaced, she started to hemorrhage during the procedure; and again, without proper care from her physician, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She would try different diets, yoga, breathing exercises, and other holistic practices and research other treatments before she found a solution that would work best for her– Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), also referred to as uterine artery embolization. LaToya explains it’s a procedure consisting of cutting the blood supply to the artery that feeds the fibroid.

Her Calling

The testimony she shared on her Facebook would go on to spark a movement after she received an influx of engagement from others who have or know someone who had a battle with fibroids. LaToya shares she felt a sense of discernment and knew it was something bigger than herself. She went on to brainstorm with her husband and later consulted with a friend who helped her realize her mission rather quickly. LaToya states, “I knew that I was supposed to help humans with a uterus by providing tools and resources for them to make their own decision on what they feel is in their best interest …I knew no matter which way I went it would be led by God.”’

The Fibroid Pandemic: A Stride Towards Awareness

Founded in 2020, The Fibroid Pandemic is a resource community dedicated to helping Black Women living with uterine fibroids. The holistic platform provides women with natural products and foods as well as connects them with healthcare providers to help assist on their fibroid healing journey. LaToya is big on interactive education, and she provides several masterclasses and events throughout the year– including their highly praised annual Run F.A.R. 5K Run/Walk.

July: Fibroid Awareness Month

The debut event became the first fibroid 5K walk/run in North America, garnering twenty-five sponsorships from major companies including Radio One, The Honey Pot Co., and New York Life. The success of the event is continuing this July.

The two-day event features The Fibroid Brunch Panel Discussion featuring ten health and wellness experts providing sound solutions and remedies for healing oneself on July 14th and the Run F.A.R. 5K Run/Walk happening on July 15th. Participants can join in person or virtually with a self-guided 5K. Others can give registration to others or be a ghost or phantom participant who registers without participating. No matter how you decide to participate, everyone will receive a t-shirt and participation medal.

A portion of the proceeds will go to Pad The Pandemic, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to help eliminate period poverty and unnecessary hysterectomies.

LaToya’s Mark

She wants people to remember her passion and how she made them feel when they could relate to her and her fibroid journey. “I want people to remember that I am a relentless fibroid advocate, and I’ll do it to the day I die as long as God guides my steps.”

Domestic Violence advocate Lisa Jenkins: The voice for the voiceless

Written by The Recap Report Staff on April 11, 2023. Posted in Business, Health and Beauty, Lifestyle, Uncategorized.

“You are enough”

Mother, wife, and grandmother, Lisa Jenkins is using her life experiences to empower victims of domestic, sexual, and child abuse through her organization, Kingdom Builder Family Life Center (KBFLC) based in Colorado Springs. Lisa has worked with survivors and their families for the last 25 years and started KBFLC 15 years into her career. As we begin to reflect on Lisa’s impactful career, we begin where it all started– in her own household.

“God if you allow me to live, I’ll spend the rest of my life helping those in similar situations.”

In 1994, twenty-four year old Lisa had been in an abusive marriage for 5 years and nearly escaped death. Once she left, she found herself trying to navigate her new life with her 3 children. Lisa’s sole focus was creating a better environment for her and her children. She found herself trying to overcome stereotypical barriers and protecting her children who were emotionally affected by the ordeal. It also affected her trust in her current marriage. She credits therapy and education for helping her understand what she was going through and helping her marriage thrive.

Also as a Black Woman in Colorado, there weren’t many in that position, she found herself constantly proving herself and showing her worth while intentionally making sure those who came to her door were supported– by bringing on a team to reflect those being served and never giving up. While Lisa face many obstacles over the course of 30 years, she kept her faith in God and soon knew he would guide her down the right path

Kingdom Builders 10 years in the making

At the rise of Kingdom Builders, Lisa was a seasoned advocate with the government full time, where there was a scarcity of resources. She knew in order to effect real change, would be to remove herself from her full time commitment and secure resources to help Kingdom Builders thrive– which she did! In 2018 Lisa was awarded a grant and was able to resign, putting full force behind KBFLC as CEO. This momentum allowed Lisa and KBFLC to connect with other established agencies and get victim services fully funded– with local, state, and federal assistance. “Now I am able to provide the resources survivors need.” She states, “In order to eliminate a person’s [domestic abuse] situation, you have to have the financial aspect to support them. We can all say we want to help, but if we can’t provide housing, financial assistance, emergency services and other aspects that a survivor needs, then they’re less likely to leave.”

The Kingdom Builders impact

Lisa shares that Statistically 1:4 Women + 1:7 Men report abuse, while 1:5 Youth have been exposed to domestic violence and 1:12 high schoolers are involved with teen dating violence. For adolescents affected by an abusive environment, it’s likely that 90 percent of them will become harmed or harmful themselves. At Kingdom builders they help youth recognize that this behavior is not okay and educate them on the importance of healthy relationships.

In her personal and professional experience, Lisa says advocacy means a lot to the community. “When you’re in that moment, all your power and independence is probably taken away.” So to have someone that says I may not exactly understand what you’ve been through, but I want to help.

Bringing Awareness-

April marks Sexual Assault and Children Abuse Awareness months which is a focal point of KBFLC. The organization hosts weekly cake and conversations where participants can tour the facility on Wednesdays and learn how they can best support the organization. In light of their 10 year anniversary, KBFLC is hosting their Race Against Violence 5k in August with their two-day Domestic Violence conference and 10 year anniversary Gala slated for October.

I am Lisa Jenkins Legacy

While Lisa continues to walk in her purpose she is now introducing all of her layers to the world through her “I am Lisa Jenkins” Brand through speaking engagements and interviews. I want to be able to help– I am a helper and a server. Lisa is using the tools God has given her to help other mothers, individuals, and families. She wants to use her personal experience as a voice for those in need. She is currently gearing up to release her debut podcast and also hopes to have satellite offices across the country reflecting the advocacy being done at Kingdom Builders.

Scott Howard: Pioneering a New Genre of Music for Healing and Awakening

Written by The Recap Report Staff on April 7, 2023. Posted in Entertainment, Music.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with Scott Howard, a musician, and pioneer of a new genre called Source Music. His music is prophetically conceived, influenced by the celestial beyond and performed at 432 Hz. Scott’s upcoming album, Angel Numbers in 432Hz, is a collection of songs that carry a healing message he believes will be needed in the future. In this interview, we delve into Scott’s life and career, his spiritual awakening, and the impact music has had on his journey. We also discuss his new album, his approach to writing music, and what he hopes his musical impact will be. Get ready to be inspired by this unique artist and his uplifting message.

Music has been a major element throughout your life. How would you define music and what it means to you?

As a child, my family was more musically inclined than most. My mom, was an opera singer and founded Long Island Lyric Opera. We used to have monthly family gatherings called “cousins club,” where we would all perform for each other around the piano downstairs. I always found myself at the top of the staircase, yearning to perform for the older adults and prove that I had something valuable to bring to the table.

Throughout my life, I’ve defined my experiences in terms of sounds of music, using them to describe the events and emotions of my journey through songs and albums. I’ve noticed that the music I listen to during major life changes often mirrors the higher frequencies of those events. For instance, the first time I fell in love, got my first car, or even tried smoking pot (lol)… had a specific sound and feeling to it. Learning to play guitar, writing my first song, performing the bassline in the jazz band, and even participating in a play in Baldwin Junior High School all had their own unique sounds, bringing both ups and downs to my life.

Where do you draw inspiration from when writing your songs?

When it comes to writing my songs, I usually draw inspiration from strong emotions and experiences of pain that I didn’t expect to affect me as they did. The music I create is prophetically conceived, with specific words and melodies that correspond to chakra points and bring out events that I believe will occur in the near future.

For example, I wrote a song called “Harvest Blessing” on my album “The Language of Clouds” four years ago or more, and it talks about a storm being over and being blessed by Mother Earth’s tears while “the sunrise comes as the trumpets herald the new birth”. At that time, “the Storm” wasn’t even a point of discussion.

On my upcoming album “Angel Numbers in 432Hz,” I have several songs that I hope will resonate with people who are seeking answers, healing, or hope. One of the songs, “We Are Forever,” talks about fighting atrocities against the human race and finding hope and faith in a touch or a kiss. Another track, “A Gods-Land,” addresses the current state of the world and the need to let go of mental crosses and start winning the coin toss. And, “It’s Our Time!” speaks of the keys to the kingdom being in a higher vibration, with a focus on raising our third eye sights and achieving the highest destination.

I hope my music can offer something meaningful to those who need it and that it resonates with their experiences and emotions.

How did your spiritual awakening impact your life and ultimately your career?

My spiritual awakening began on August 4th, 2017, with the activation of my hypothalamus. This transformative event was quite lonely since it separated me from my immediate family who were not on the same frequency as me. We all receive and experience things in life based on our individual frequency in this holographic matrix, and my awakening enabled me to see and hear things that others were not able to experience.

Regarding my career, many people are now going through what I’ve been through, and synchronicity often brings them to places where they can resonate with and receive the answers they need to hear or heal from. My music, which is an ancient genre created through Source in 432Hz, has resonated with people all over the world, and I am excited to share my new album, “Angel Numbers in 432Hz,” with everyone. A mini music concert video and promotional material for the album will be available for pre-order on my website, www.scotthowardmusic.com.

What inspired your successful 2018 album “Ascended Man”?

“Ascended Man” is a ten-song chapter book that tells the story of the tragic loss of my son Maxx due to an accidental drug overdose. At that time, I was seeing the numbers 8888 everywhere and didn’t understand their meaning. I always seem to know the names of my albums ahead of time, and the loss of my son – “My Beautiful Ones” (song on my upcoming album, Angel Numbers) devastated my entire existence. I found myself in my studio for months, writing songs to help me find answers and heal while hopefully helping others who have experienced such a trauma, as there will be many more who will face such losses in the future. I hope to help as many people as possible resonate with their awakening, regardless of the answers they may need.

Outside of your hits, you have also managed to pioneer a new genre. How did that come about?

My spiritual awakening opened my eyes to the power of music and how it can influence our frequency and emotions. This realization led me to pioneer a new genre called Source Music, which is influenced by the celestial beyond and performed at 432 Hz. I believe that this frequency has a curative effect on the mind and soul, and it has been used by some of the greatest musicians in history, such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach.

I draw inspiration for my lyrics and music from the universe, and I believe that they are prophetically conceived. I often receive messages or inspiration for my lyrics that relate to events that I feel will occur in the near future. These “spells,” as I like to call them, have the power to bring relief and healing to those who need it most.

Overall, my spiritual awakening has had a profound impact on my life and career. I’m dedicated to sharing my music and message with the world and helping others raise their frequency through meditation and music.

What can you tell us about your upcoming project Angel Numbers?

My upcoming album Angel Numbers is a collection of songs that I wrote years ago based on my life experiences. Each song is like a chapter of my life, and they all carry a healing message that I believe will be needed in the future. The titles of the songs speak for themselves, and I’m excited for everyone to go on this mad hatter’s ride with me.

In addition, we’re going to release a 2-song music video and promo trailer in the next few weeks that should give you a taste of what to expect from the album. You can pre-order Angel Numbers in 432Hz on my website, scotthowardmusic.com, and you can listen to some of the samplers as they become available.

If you’re looking for my previous works, my World Ascension Tour LIVE at Village Studios in 432Hz in vinyl is available now for shipping. You can also check out my other albums like Ascended Man, The Language of Clouds, and The Zen of Planets, which are available for purchase on my website either as CDs or digital downloads.

What are some of your favorite things about being a musician?

As a musician, one of my favorite things is performing on stage and sharing my music with others. I first fell in love with performing at age 11 when my stepfather managed my rock band, The Gemini 5, and we played for Maimonides School for Special Children. Even though, at the time we sounded terrible, seeing how much the children enjoyed our performance was a life-changing experience for me. Throughout the years, I was inspired by my mother’s performances in operas and my own experiences performing in school plays. Seeing how music can and have enriched and soothed people’s hearts gave me hope that my music can also make a positive impact in the world. Being able to manifest pure love on stage is a gift that I believe only comes from Source, and I hope to continue to use it to bring light and illuminate the audience.

Music is something that leaves a lasting impact on society. What do you hope your musical impact will be?

As a musician, I believe that my purpose is to help the entire spiritual soul group grow and make changes for the good of humankind. Throughout history, music has had a profound impact on society, from the big band era to the Beatles and beyond. However, I’ve noticed that in recent times, music has become a reflection of the generational cancer that is slowly rotting our society and family values. I want to change that by creating a new/ancient genre of music from a place of love gifted by Source in 432Hz. This new genre can help raise the vibration of our earthly realm and awaken people to the truth of our lives. I believe that music has the power to heal and rebuild a world based on positive energies, allowing spells of love and light to enter our improved minds in the kingdom of the 4-5D human. My ultimate hope is that my music will enable those in need to heal and cleanse the darkness from their lives. I want my music to resonate with people and lift them up, even in times when all hope seems lost. My upcoming album, Angel Numbers in 432Hz, is my contribution to this cause, and I hope it can manifest miracles by the infinite.

BE LIGHT!
