Shania Banton emphasizes the value of reading and watching fiction as a reminder that not everything in life needs to be taken so seriously. She recommends reading When No One is Watching or turning on Netflix for their newest series Forever. She was moved by the show’s portrayal of two different Black families, describing it as nostalgic and deeply affirming. 

Tara A. Nicolas prioritizes reconnecting with her inner child through play and regular nature walks. Somedays, Tara turns to classic procedural TV shows like Monk and Psych, which offer light-hearted familiarity and comfort. However, her go-to book for spiritual and personal expansion is The Alchemist.

Jerrie Johnson finds balance through reading transformative books like The Power of Now and The Untethered Soul, which have helped her embrace the importance of not taking things personally. When it’s time to unplug and rest, she turns to the nostalgic comfort of Little House on the Prairie (TV series). For Jerrie, the series brings wholesomeness and a feel-good nature that’s both pure and grounding.
