Affirmations For Living Guest, Latricia Wright July 11, 2013 Owner of Olive Seed LLC, Health Promoter, Body Chemistry Analyst, Herbalist, Sports Nutrition Consultant, Kids Fitness Instructor, Holistic Researcher, Cook

Latricia is the owner and founder of Olive Seed, LLC with a passion for promoting health and healing in the community. Latricia’s interest in issues of health began as a young teen with the passing of her father from a brain aneurism and grandmother from diabetes. Almost 10 years later Latricia was terrified when her husband was plagued with symptoms similar to her father’s. Latricia was only seeking to improve her health and save her husband’s life when she began studying Reams Biological Theory to Ionization, achieving the distinction of a Body Chemistry Analyst. To date Latricia is an Herbalist, Certified Sports Nutrition Consultant and Kids Fitness Instructor with studies in Holistic Nutrition and Agriculture. Latricia hosts "Healthy Living Discussions" devoted to spotlighting what she says is a “disconnect about health” within our community. She supports participants who have committed their lives to some spectrum of the health continuum, about which she states, “Nutrition is only part of the story.” She believes the human body was built to innately heal itself given the right therapy. Latricia services include both child and adult nutrition, fitness and cooking seminars with the goal of ensuring the health of not only kids, but also families and communities. She understands good nutrition starts in the home. Latricia's newly adopted name, “Mama NuTrish” was purposely created to facilitate the Healthy STAR Program. An initiative designed to help kids and teens understand wise food choices and daily physical activity are building blocks to promoting health and reduces the risk of diseases like diabetes, obesity and cancer.

Affirmations For Living Guest, Omiyale Jube September 25, 2013 Book Author

Omiyale Jubé is the CEO and Founder of Navigate Your Existence, an organization designed to open new portals of understanding for those who desire to “Take Control of their Life’s Destination.”

Omiyale, also known as Anika Johnson, was born and raised on 125th street in Harlem, New York. Early in life, at the whim of the New York City school system, she was labeled culturally deprived, underprivileged, and emotionally disturbed.  She is a survivor of abusive relationships and an attempted suicide. Her journey began searching for answers. Omiyale’s discovery of her rich African heritage restored a sense of being, a step towards claiming self-worth. Yet, still looking externally for answers and not feeling in control, the quest continued. Searching for answers on a spiritual level opened doors to understanding her being on a more profound level, her very existence.  

Omiyale’s journey consisted of a series of “aha” moments that simplified the most complex and sometimes misunderstood concepts of life, converting them to tools of empowerment fueling her transformation.

She possesses an uncanny ability to provide answers to those yet unanswered, nagging questions about life, provide new perspectives with which to view the world, and guide individuals to look within for direction.

Sharing these “aha’ moments affords an extraordinary connection to her audiences as she guides them to ignite the power within. She utilizes her journey to teach others how to find their internal compass, and chart their course of destination. Omiyale’s journey as an acclaimed speaker and commitment to service has won her numerous awards and recognition from various organizations and persons of distinction.

Currently, Omiyale resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Amongst her accomplishes, she is an Author, Inspirational Speaker, Personal and Spiritual Coach, and Reiki Master.  A retired school administrator, she has always been inspired to share knowledge, effect change, and champion the evolution of humanity. Her speaking and coaching series is dedicated to the resurrection of mind, body, and soul, and to the ascension of consciousness for the human collective.
