As much as I love art and culture, fashion and beauty, I’m also a fan of politics and politicians whose platforms center and elevate the human condition.
Today's @fullbodyfrequency guest has gone from Certified Nursing Assistant to the Illinois General Assembly representing the 9th district. And while folks say that all politics are local, Lakesia Collins has made a national impact with her work on behalf of workers, including the Fight for $15, the movement that advocates for the $15 dollar per hour minimum wage.
Between June and July of this year, she sponsored over 20 bills in the IL General Assembly while remaining on the frontline, fighting for the rights of workers and children.
In addition to her work, Illinois State Senator Lakesia Collins's story of pushing past trauma and moving forward to the plus-size life she now lives is absolutely inspirational!

Tokyo 2020: The Summer Olympics: Pandemic, Politics, Profits, Protests, and Plus-Size Athletes
This is Laura Rice, and you're listening to Full Body Frequency. My guest in this episode is Idy Uyoe. He is an Olympic historian and leads Idy Sports, a sports marketing, media, and events management agency located in Atlanta, Georgia. Not only does he work with several African Olympic Committees, but he also ran one leg of the 1996 Summer Olympic torch relay. In celebration of the 32nd Olympiad, we discuss the impact of the pandemic, politics, profits, protests, and plus-size athletes on The Olympics.
In this episode, we talk:
* The Summer Olympics and its complications, costs, and history;
* The history of Olympic protests, 1908 to the present;
* Primetime television, the NCAA, and The Simone Biles factor;
* What has been banned, who has been banned, and what these bannings mean for diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in sports; and,
* For the first time in the history of the games, women outnumber men.
Thanks for tuning in. Check out the story links below, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share Full Body Frequency.
