Sunumi Brown is a visionary leader in psychedelic education. Her groundbreaking work has been featured in TEDX, Oakland Hyphae, Forbes for her course with Doubleblindmag on Psychedelics and Maternity, and in The Guardian’s article “The Black Mothers Finding Freedom In Mushrooms.”

What if the greatest obstacle to healing isn't the pain itself—but the way we've been taught to think about healing?

In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore why healing was never meant to depend on a single solution. From stillness and breathwork to music, community, and other holistic practices, our guest explains why true healing happens when we move beyond a "one-size-fits-all" mindset and embrace a more interconnected approach.

Whether you're interested in mental health, spirituality, personal growth, or community wellness, this discussion challenges conventional ideas and offers a fresh perspective on what it really means to heal.

What You'll Learn:

Why searching for one "magic cure" can limit healing
The importance of community in the healing process
How repetitive thought patterns can keep us feeling stuck
Why holistic healing requires multiple tools working together
A new perspective on healing, growth, and transformation

For millions of people, Jamaica is the ultimate Caribbean paradise. But for many Jamaicans, getting to the beach isn't as simple as it seems.

After spending more than a year investigating, ITV News travelled across the island to find out why communities say they're being shut out from their own coastline. From the famous Bob Marley Beach in Bull Bay to Montego Bay and Puerto Seco, we hear from fishermen, surfers, local residents, campaigners, lawyers, business owners and Cedella Marley as they debate who should have access to Jamaica's beaches.

Supporters of private developments argue investment has transformed neglected beaches, improving safety, facilities and tourism. Critics say rising development, historic laws and new government policies are making it harder for ordinary Jamaicans to enjoy the coastline they call home. We examine both sides of one of Jamaica's biggest and most emotional public debates.

In this documentary:
Why many Jamaicans say public beach access is disappearing
The battle over Bob Marley Beach
The role of tourism and resort development
Jamaica's colonial-era beach laws explained
The campaign to protect public beaches
Why recent hurricanes have intensified the debate over the coastline

👉🏿 INVEST IN INDEPENDENT BLACK MEDIA → Watch the FULL UNCENSORED interview with Yohance Gregory at https://ineverknewtv.com/premium/

In Pt. 1 of this powerful reasoning, Yohance Gregory, son of legendary activist, author, and comedian Dick Gregory, challenges conventional thinking about Black liberation. Drawing on African history, spirituality, and the lessons passed down by his father, Yohance argues that true freedom begins with purpose, identity, and self-knowledge not simply changing external systems. He explains why understanding what we're fighting for is just as important as knowing what we're fighting against.

Throughout this conversation, Yohance explores Black liberation, African history, spiritual growth, identity, community, and the importance of building a foundation for future generations. Whether you're interested in Black history, personal development, Black empowerment, or the enduring legacy of Dick Gregory, this discussion offers timeless insights that remain just as relevant today.

In this episode:

Why Black liberation starts with purpose
Lessons Yohance Gregory learned from Dick Gregory
African history, identity, and self-knowledge
The role of spirituality in true freedom
Why many people are fighting the wrong battle
Building stronger families and communities
