Episode 8: Kia Baker, Advocate for Female Veterans, Creator & Host of "Hot Topics Live" livestream video series, "Female Veterans Podcast" & "Woman Warrior Stories"

Kia Baker is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and has dedicated her life to the telling & sharing of female veteran voices on platforms she created and hosts: "The Female Veterans Podcast" & "Woman Warrior Stories." She also created & hosts "Hot Topics Live" a livestream video series. Having participated in micro-dosing with psychedelics, Kia supports the use of psychedelics for veterans, or anyone, suffering from PTSD or other psychological challenges. We don't stop there! Kia's father was inspired by Malcolm X and converted his family to Islam. After her parents' divorce, her mother converted to Catholicism. As a child, Kia did not understand why Catholicism adhered to rituals that require believers to view priests and nuns as gatekeepers of communication with Jesus. Shortly after, she inspired her mother to convert to a Christian denomination where they stayed until she finished high school. Although no longer associating with organized religion, Kia definitely believes all people have intrinsic value and has dedicated her life to helping women veterans transition back to civilian status with love. In fact, Love is Kia's religion!
