DA CREW Podcast

In the world of books, some people do more than read stories—they help stories find their audience. Patrice Grimball, affectionately known throughout the literary community as “SC BookGal,” is one of those powerful voices. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Grimball has built a respected reputation as a literary advocate, professional book reviewer, library specialist, podcast host, and supporter of diverse storytellers.With a special passion for African American literature, independent authors, and underrepresented voices, Patrice has become a trusted bridge between writers and readers.

She currently serves in Adult Services at the Cynthia Graham Hurd/St. Andrews Library branch, where her day-to-day work includes reader’s advisory, community programming, and helping patrons discover books that speak to their lives and interests.Her connection to the branch is deeply personal. The library was renamed in honor of Cynthia Graham Hurd, Patrice’s late mentor and best friend, who tragically lost her life in the 2015 Emanuel AME Church shooting. Cynthia took Patrice under her wing early in her library career, leaving behind a legacy of service, literacy, and compassion that continues to inspire Patrice’s work today.Through her role at the library, Patrice does more than recommend books. She opens doors. She introduces readers to new authors, uplifts Black literary works, and ensures that diverse stories remain visible in community spaces.The Rise of “SC BookGal”Known by supporters as the “Literary Queen,” Patrice Grimball has turned her love for books into a multi-platform mission.

Believe in the Journey: Honoring Mothers, Healing Through Faith, and Finding Purpose in the PainThere are some journeys that change us forever.Some seasons break our hearts open in ways we never expected. Some losses leave us searching for words, strength, and understanding. Yet, even in the middle of grief, faith has a way of reminding us that love does not end. Purpose does not disappear. And healing, though not always easy, is still possible.That is the heart behind Believe in the Journey, a powerful podcast hosted by Triveda Harris, an author, motivational speaker, stroke survivor, and woman of faith whose life is a testimony of resilience, transformation, and divine purpose.Airing on the Da Crew Podcast network, Believe in the Journey is more than a show. It is a sacred space for meaningful conversations, community connection, spiritual healing, and encouragement for those who are learning how to keep going after life has tested them.A Special Episode Celebrating MothersTonight’s show held a deeply personal and heartfelt meaning as it celebrated mothers—their love, sacrifice, wisdom, strength, prayers, and unforgettable presence.For Triveda Harris, this episode was especially emotional because it has been three years since the loss of her mother. Anyone who has experienced the loss of a mother understands that grief does not follow a schedule. It does not disappear simply because time has passed. Some days are peaceful. Some days are heavy. Some memories bring smiles, while others bring tears.But tonight was not only about loss.It was about legacy.It was about honoring the women who carried us, raised us, covered us, corrected us, prayed for us, and helped shape us into who we are becoming. It was about remembering that a mother’s love continues to live through her children, her teachings, her laughter, her faith, and the countless seeds she planted.Through this episode, Triveda created space for reflection, gratitude, and healing. She reminded listeners that even after the physical presence of a mother is gone, the impact of her love remains.The Mission Behind Believe in the JourneyThe Believe in the Journey podcast was created as an interactive platform where real stories meet real faith. Each episode invites listeners to lean into conversations that are honest, uplifting, and transformational.The show focuses on how life’s trials and tribulations can reveal a greater purpose. It challenges the idea that pain is the end of the story. Instead, Believe in the Journey encourages people to see their struggles as part of a larger blueprint—one that can lead to healing, growth, and testimony.Episodes typically air live on Facebook through Da Crew Podcast every 2nd Sunday and 4th Thursday at 8:00 PM EST.Listeners can also find the show on:YouTubeSpotifySpreakerApple PodcastsWhether someone is tuning in live or catching the replay, the message remains the same: your journey matters.Meet Triveda Harris: A Voice of Faith, Strength, and TransformationBased in South Carolina, Triveda Harris has built her platform around the power of testimony. Her voice carries authenticity because she does not speak from theory alone—she speaks from lived experience.As a stroke survivor and someone living with Chiari Malformation, Triveda understands what it means to face battles that are both visible and invisible. She knows what it feels like to have life interrupted, plans challenged, and strength tested. Yet through every season, she has continued to rise with faith, courage, and purpose.Her story is not just about surviving. It is about transforming.It is about choosing to believe that what tried to break her could also be used to build something meaningful. Through her podcast, books, speaking engagements, and publishing work, Triveda helps others understand that their pain can become a platform, their story can become a source of strength, and their trials can become testimonies.Turning Trials Into TestimoniesOne of the most powerful themes in Triveda’s work is the message of turning trials into testimonies.This message resonates deeply because everyone has faced something. Grief. Illness. Rejection. Fear. Loss. Disappointment. Uncertainty. Silent battles that no one else sees.But Believe in the Journey reminds listeners that difficulty does not disqualify them from purpose. In many cases, the very thing they survived becomes the message someone else needs to hear.Triveda’s conversations with visionary leaders, authors, and everyday overcomers give listeners permission to be honest about where they are while still believing in where they are going.The podcast does not ignore pain. It honors it. It acknowledges the weight of real-life struggles while pointing people toward hope, faith, and healing.Wings of Transformation Publishing LLCBeyond her role as a podcast host, Triveda Harris is also the Founder and CEO of Wings of Transformation Publishing LLC.Through her publishing company, she helps aspiring authors bring their stories to life. Her mission is to help others publish their own “blueprints” for overcoming life’s seasons. She understands that a story can be more than words on a page—it can be a ministry, a movement, and a message of freedom for someone else.Wings of Transformation Publishing LLC reflects Triveda’s larger purpose: helping people recognize that their experiences have value. Their voices matter. Their stories deserve to be heard.Why This Podcast MattersIn a world where many people are silently hurting, Believe in the Journey offers something necessary: a place to be seen, heard, encouraged, and reminded that healing is possible.The podcast creates a bridge between faith and real-life experience. It speaks to those who are grieving, those who are rebuilding, those who are searching for meaning, and those who simply need encouragement to take one more step.Tonight’s episode celebrating mothers was a beautiful example of what makes the platform so impactful. It was not just a conversation—it was a moment of remembrance, honor, and healing.It reminded us that mothers are often the first examples of faith, strength, endurance, and unconditional love. And even when they are no longer physically here, their influence continues to guide us.A Message for Anyone Missing Their MotherIf you are missing your mother, this message is for you:Your grief is valid.Your tears are not weakness.Your memories are sacred.Your mother’s love still lives within you.There is no expiration date on love, and there is no timeline for healing. Some days, you may feel strong. Other days, the ache may return unexpectedly. But through it all, may you remember that the bond between a mother and child is not erased by death.Love remains.Legacy remains.The lessons remain.And somehow, through faith, we learn to carry both the pain of the loss and the beauty of the love.Keep Believing in the JourneyBelieve in the Journey is more than a podcast title—it is a declaration.It is a reminder that every season has meaning. Every testimony has power. Every struggle can produce wisdom. And every journey, even the painful ones, can lead to purpose.Through her life, her voice, and her platform, Triveda Harris continues to inspire others to keep moving forward with faith. She reminds us that we are not defined by what happened to us, but by how we rise, heal, grow, and use our story to help someone else.So whether you are celebrating, grieving, healing, rebuilding, or simply trying to understand the season you are in, remember this:Believe in the journey.Believe in the healing.Believe in the purpose.And most of all, believe that your story is not over.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/da-crew-podcast--5763835/support.

Others are shaped through pain, perseverance, and the determination to make a difference. Shanette W.

It is truly the kind of journey that only God could orchestrate.I never imagined this path for myself.I never imagined that the vision in me, the words in me, and the purpose on my life would lead me to microphones, interviews, broadcasts, global conversations, and divine connections. What started as obedience has grown into something far greater than I could have imagined. Six years later, I am still standing in gratitude, still walking in purpose, and still amazed by the faithfulness of God.A Thank You to Those Who Have Been Part of the JourneyTonight, my heart was full as I reflected on the people who have helped make this journey so meaningful.To my faithful listenersThank you for tuning in, supporting, sharing, listening, praying, and believing in this platform.

Still growing. Still believing. Still walking in purpose.From Country Roots to Global ReachIf my journey says anything, let it say this:Never underestimate what God can do with someone who is willing. Never underestimate the power of your voice. Never underestimate the places purpose can take you.From Anderson to Level Land. From country roots to global reach.

Title: Autism Awareness & Acceptance: Moving Towards an Inclusive WorldAutism awareness is not just a moment in time—it’s a global, ongoing effort to foster better understanding, improve inclusion, and protect the rights of autistic individuals. What started as a movement focusing purely on "awareness" has evolved. Now, advocates urge us to move beyond awareness and embrace acceptance, celebrating neurodiversity and empowering people on the autism spectrum.Key ObservancesWorld Autism Awareness Day (April 2)Designated by the United Nations, this day promotes the human rights and fundamental freedoms of autistic people, serving as a worldwide reminder to champion inclusion and equality.Autism Acceptance Month (April)Throughout April, organizations like the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) highlight why "acceptance" matters: knowing autism exists isn’t enough. It’s about active inclusion and ensuring autistic people aren’t just recognized but valued as integral members of society.Autistic Pride Day (June 18)A unique celebration by and for autistic people focused on identity, community, and self-advocacy, reinforcing the message that being autistic is something to embrace with pride.Understanding the SpectrumAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. It shapes how individuals perceive the world and interact with others, and its manifestations are diverse—hence, the "spectrum" in its name.Prevalence: The latest data reveals that about 1 in 31 children and 1 in 45 adults in the U.S. are diagnosed with autism.Core Characteristics: Autistic people often have unique communication styles, engage in repetitive behaviors (sometimes called "stimming"), thrive on routine, and possess deep, focused interests.Neurodiversity: This key concept understands autism as a natural variance in human brains, not a defect. Neurodiversity advocates for acceptance and support rather than seeking a "cure."How to Get Involved1. Educate Yourself Start by listening to autistic voices and self-advocates. Their lived experiences offer invaluable insight—books, podcasts, and blogs from actually autistic people are great resources.2. Support Inclusive Policy Advocate for national legislation like the Autism CARES Act, which funds critical research, health care training, and early identification efforts. Local initiatives matter, too—find out what’s happening in your community.3. Create Accessible Spaces Accessibility can be simple: quiet workspaces, clear communication, patience, and flexibility help make environments more "autism-friendly" for everyone.4. Connect with Organizations Groups such as the Autism Society, Autism Speaks, and the National Autistic Association offer resources and support for families, professionals, and autistic individuals.Current News & Initiatives (March 2026)Federal Funding Success: Recent federal appropriations have secured vital funding for autism research and healthcare training through 2026.Massachusetts Executive Order: Governor Maura Healey has signed an executive order establishing a statewide support strategy for adults with profound autism—a huge step for adult services and lifelong advocacy.Global Systemic Change: For World Autism Awareness Day 2026, the Institute of Neurodiversity (ION) is leading international events centered on systemic change across education, health, and employment sectors.Moving Forward: Celebrate, Support, AcceptAutism awareness should be the starting point—not the destination. As we mark dates on the calendar and support legislative progress, let’s remember that real impact happens when autistic people are listened to, supported, and celebrated. By combining awareness with action, we can build a world that not only understands autism but truly includes and values autistic people, every day of the year.Further Reading & Resources:United Nations: World Autism Awareness DayAutistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN)National Autistic SocietyAutism SpeaksLet’s move from awareness to genuine acceptance—together.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/da-crew-podcast--5763835/support.

Stay tuned—and keep creating your legacy, one purpose-filled step at a time!POEMS BY QUEEN ANGELAUnapologeticallyI rise each day with the sun on my skin, Unfolding like petals—brave, wild within. I am not the echo of anyone’s fears, Nor the shadow of yesterday’s tears.I move through this world, shoulders unbowed, Unshaken by judgement or whispers aloud. My laughter, my scars, all woven in gold— I wear every story, unbroken, untold.I am soft as the dawn and fierce as the flame, Not here for approval or fitting the frame. I carry my history, pain, and delight— They fuel my purpose, they color my light.No more shrinking smaller to fit in their space, No more hiding truth or masking my face. I shine incomplete, I speak all my names— I am who I am, through thunder and rain.So let the world wonder, let critics deride; My spirit’s unruly, my soul open wide. With courage, compassion, and audacity— Each day, I choose to be Unapologetically me.Legacy & VisionI plant my hopes like seeds beneath the restless earth, Dreams that tremble, waiting for sun and honest birth. Let every word I speak, each gentle deed I give, Etch kindness and courage in memories that live.Beyond my given years, I send my vision forth— A river of understanding, of love, of growing worth. Not for stone or fleeting praise to wear my name so bold, But for compassion’s quiet tide in hearts that I’ve consoled.May my laughter linger softly on a grandchild’s hopeful face, May forgiveness bloom in gardens I have tended with grace. I dream of bridges built where divisions try to reign, And healing hands extended in the shadow after pain.Let my struggles be a lantern to the wanderers behind; May they find a flame of purpose where I once was blind. And as my story settles gently with the dusk’s embrace, May others walk their path with vision, with mercy, with grace.For legacy is not in marble, nor in trophies burnished bright— But in the lives transformed by love and in dreams rekindled by night. So I walk today with vision, and tomorrow’s seeds I sow, Trusting the future’s harvest from every light I grow.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/da-crew-podcast--5763835/support.

IntroductionEvery community needs a space where truth is welcomed, healing is championed, and no topic is off limits. Enter Basic Blaque After Dark, a transformative live segment of the Da Crew Podcast, hosted by the insightful Blaque Diamond. Airing twice monthly, this show is more than entertainment—it’s a beacon of support, connection, and unflinching honesty, dedicated to “meeting you exactly where you are.”Meet the Host: Blaque DiamondAt the heart of Basic Blaque After Dark is Blaque Diamond—a licensed social worker, trauma coach, and author with a mission to shatter taboos and foster genuine conversation. Drawing on her professional experience and personal compassion, Blaque Diamond offers wisdom grounded in both expertise and empathy. Her goal? To help listeners navigate life’s rough patches while feeling seen, heard, and understood.A Safe Space for Real ConversationsBasic Blaque After Dark isn’t your typical podcast segment. It’s a safe space intentionally designed for open, authentic dialogue on topics that are often glossed over or avoided entirely. Every episode invites listeners to engage with their real selves—whatever chapter of life they’re in—without judgment.In a world where vulnerability can be rare and “toughing it out” is often expected, Blaque Diamond is committed to changing the narrative. By meeting people “exactly where they are,” she ensures that every conversation is relevant, accessible, and deeply human.Core Topics ExploredMental Health and Trauma-Informed HealingUnderstanding the complexities of mental health and trauma is central to Basic Blaque After Dark. Each session delves into the importance of recognizing, processing, and healing from emotional wounds. Blaque Diamond introduces tools for self-care, shares trauma recovery insights, and encourages listeners to break free from shame and silence.Navigating Grief and ForgivenessLoss and heartbreak are universal experiences, yet so few people talk about them honestly. This segment features poignant discussions on grief—whether from the death of a loved one, a painful breakup, or life transitions. Equally vital is the journey to forgiveness, both of others and oneself. Listeners are guided through practical strategies and personal stories to light the path towards emotional release.Building Resilience and Personal TransformationResilience isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving. Blaque Diamond inspires her audience to see setbacks as setups for greater strength and growth. Through actionable tips and motivational dialogue, she helps listeners turn adversity into fuel for transformation, empowering them to rewrite their narratives.Men’s Mental Health and Breaking Community SilencesCertain topics, especially those around men’s emotional well-being, remain heavily stigmatized in many communities. Basic Blaque After Dark is breaking the mold by giving men a voice—tackling subjects like vulnerability, mental health, and unspoken struggles within safe, respectful conversations. This deliberate focus encourages everyone to challenge outdated gender norms and support collective healing.How and When to Tune InReady to join the conversation? Basic Blaque After Dark airs live on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month at 8:00 PM EST.

Today, we honor Minister Alma Collins Thomas—a true spiritual trailblazer, steadfast encourager, and the radiant host of “Inspirational Moments with Prophetess T.”A Life Marked by PurposeMinister Alma Collins Thomas is best described in her own powerful words: “I am still standing, and I don’t look like the hell I have been. I made it on broken pieces.” These words—shaped by experience, courage, and deep faith—sum up her inspiring journey.Before she embraced her call to full-time ministry, Minister Thomas was deeply rooted in her community as a beloved preschool teacher at Amityville Head Start and a Suffolk County Girl Scout Leader. She laid the foundation for her lifelong mission: to uplift, educate, and empower—especially women and youth weathering life’s storms.A Calling to EmpowerNow, as executive director of Alma Collins Thomas Ministries, Minister Thomas devotes herself to equipping others with spiritual truth and practical wisdom. Through workshops, speaking engagements, and her heart-stirring broadcast, “Inspirational Moments with Prophetess T,” she pours encouragement into lives around the world. Her mission is clear: To empower women and youth with spiritual resources and practical knowledge to overcome life’s greatest challenges.Anchored in HopeMinister Thomas’s messages radiate hope, grounded in her life’s testimony. Her spiritual anchor is Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This promise of hope and purpose guides every message, outreach, and prayer.A Warrior SpiritOften described as a “true warrior,” Minister Thomas personifies resilience. She embodies the wisdom of Haruki Murakami: “When the storm has passed, you won’t remember how you survived... But one thing is certain: when you come out of a storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.” Her life affirms that storms refine us, not define us. Even when held together by broken pieces, you can rise stronger and wiser.Moving Forward TogetherMinister Alma Collins Thomas’s story is a beacon for anyone facing hardship or needing encouragement. Her ministry offers both a safe harbor and a launch pad—helping others find the courage to move forward in faith, hope, and renewed strength.May we, too, carry her torch of perseverance, and always remember: You are still standing. Your light can still shine. God’s purpose for you remains—unshakable, unbreakable, and overflowing with hope.Follow Minister Alma Collins Thomas for more inspirational moments, and let her journey remind you—your story isn’t over; it’s just getting stronger.#StillStanding #ProphetessT #Empowerment #Jeremiah2911 #ResilientFaith #WomensMinistry #YouthEmpowerment #FaithJourney #InspirationalLeaders #QueensEmpowermentCorneBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/da-crew-podcast--5763835/support.
