Today we’d like to introduce you to Laronda Dawson.
Hi Laronda, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I started with a passion to see people living their best lives. It all began when I was faced with an unexpected illness. I was pregnant at the time and lost the baby. This was during the start of Covid-19 pandemic. I went to several doctors but not one could find what was wrong. I began losing weight and my physical appearance changed. I knew I needed to act fast so I began researching holistic healing. This was a long and challenging journey for me. However, with the help of plant-based medicine, I was able to regain some of my health. I later saw the need to help others suffering in their health during the pandemic, so I began a health podcast currently airing on Friday evenings. Today, I am healthier, totally vegan, and ritually practice holistic medicine. It’s my desire to help those with an interest in plant-based medicine.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My journey has not been an easy one, I’ve gone through many difficult days of not knowing how things would work out for my health. Because of this experience, I fell into a deep depression that took on a spiral of many days of sadness, crying, and feeling defeated. I felt like no one cared enough to help. As I began to lose weight, my countenance changed. I no longer had a vibrant appearance, instead I had a dark ash-like skin tone. I dropped weight and my body took on another form. I struggled to regain strength and joy due to this experience. To sum it up, It has been painstakingly humiliating as I watched people who knew me stare and whisper of my appearance.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a Christian singer/songwriter and serial entrepreneur with a passion to see people living together in unity. In addition, I am a positive influencer who believes positive motivation can change a person’s mindset, my specialty is connecting with people through the means of music. Although I have many talents and work in areas around positive mental health. I am a creative by nature who loves writing new songs. What more, writing new content to share with the world has been one of my favorites.
Who else deserves credit in your story?
Yes, my biggest support has definitely been my husband and children. They have watched me evolve into a fearless woman. I thank God every day for their sacrifices toward my career and healing journey. I also have mentors in my field that I look to for help when needed. They have helped steer me in the right direction at times of uncertainty. Some of my mentors are LaRue Howard, she is also my vocal coach. We’ve known each other for years now, I am thankful for her support. Other friends and mentors are Babbie Mason, Yolonda Troop Smith, and a host of other longtime friends. I believe our paths crossed for a much bigger reason yet to be revealed. Also, my spiritual leaders have played a pivotal part in my spiritual development and growth.
