Every Port a Purpose with Kameelah Howard | Ship's Log #22

"It is a true honor and gift to be able to assist those people at that moment, at that very time. I believe in divine timing... that always will stay with me - knowing how important it is to always stay in gratitude whenever a person is vulnerable with you, because they don't have to be." Episode Summary Kameelah Howard has spent her entire adult life in service to others - as a Child Protective Specialist on the front lines of Brooklyn, as an international flight attendant navigating chaos at 35,000 feet, and as a licensed massage therapist bringing physical relief and human presence to people facing serious illness. In this episode, she shares what the common thread through all of it has always been: the privilege of being trusted with someone else's vulnerability.  Kameelah and Jeanne talk about what it means to truly connect with people - why Kameelah asks "are you calling to vent or for feedback?" before a conversation goes anywhere - and how a toddler's instinct to walk up and down her tired sister's back planted a seed that would take decades to fully bloom. She talks about the friend who let her in at his lowest moment, and what that taught her about what it really means to show up for someone.  Kameelah is now pursuing her Master's in Social Work, with her sights set on medical social work. The catalyst? A Beyonce concert, a morphing dress, and a voice that said - you're going to go back to school. And she did. Two Truths and a Lie settles a question she's been fielding her whole life: just how many sevens does one person's birthday actually need? Guest Links LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/kameelah-howard-43183015b Who do you know who'd make a great guest for the show?
