Rev. Mace Hall interviews Kenya Phillips about her adult diagnosis of bi-polar 2, her treatment, her recovery and self-discovery
Reverend Mace Hall talks with Kenya Phillips about her diagnosis and struggles with bi-polar, how she got through treatment realizing her vocation as a NAMI trainer, Life Coach and Spoken Word Artist. The poem "Black Is Black" was written by her illuminating the fragility experienced by all of humanity.:
Black is Black,
Black is up ecstasy
Black is my soul
Black surrounds me
Black unfolds
Lost I was once
Like a bird and a fleet
Lost amongst others
Looking to be free
Time has come
Anew day is here.
All triumphs of past
Are now at end
Colors are colors
Closed eyes cannot see c
Clear the darkened clouds c
Cool winds are soon to come
Keep in mind
Kindness as a part k
Kept deep within the one who
Knows their own heart.
