Beyond Deconstructing Episode 2.5 - DOUBLE EPISODE W/ Praise Ara and Jesenia (Neurospicy Networking)

Beyond Deconstructing Neurodivergence

Welcome to Episode 2.5 of Beyond Deconstructing. I’m T Jamaica Pogue, affectionately known as Deconstructing Neuro, and I’m on a journey to help reframe how we understand and treat neurodivergence - in particular autism.

In Part 1 of a special Double Episode of Beyond Deconstructing Neurodivergence, I have the privilege of introducing you to a voice of wisdom, healing, and profound self-acceptance. Praise Ara is not just an advocate for self-care, trauma healing, and wellness; she's a beacon of light in the world of neurodivergent perspectives.

In a world often obsessed with self-improvement and the notion of "fixing" ourselves, Praise Ara's message is a refreshing and essential reminder: You are not a self-improvement project; you are not a broken thing in need of fixing. You are enough as you are. Her words resonate deeply, reminding us all of the intrinsic worth we carry within ourselves.

What sets Praise Ara apart is not just her message but her unique perspective and concise approach to deconstructing shared experiences within the autistic community. Her insights have a profound impact, challenging us to see the world through a different lens and to embrace our neurodivergent identities without reservation.

In Part 2 of this special Double Episode of Beyond Deconstructing Neurodivergence we welcome back a returning guest, Jesenia aka Neurospicy Networking. We had a candid and informative conversation about the importance of having emotionally regulated conversations as we endeavor to share our advocacy with others. With the current state of the world, it is easy to understand how and why so many people are feeling the fatigue of having to face the truth of the horrors that have been ignored for far too long.

Jesenia is a dedicated community facilitator and builder, specializing in serving nonprofits and community-focused organizations. At the heart of her work is a deep commitment to fostering meaningful connections, igniting engagement, and driving positive change.
