In the latest episode, I sat down with the incredible Oslyn Cummings-Cave, a powerhouse dedicated to women’s empowerment, especially for those of Caribbean descent. This episode is packed with a mix of personal stories, meaningful advice, and info on an upcoming event that you won’t want to miss.
Making Waves with Wisdom (and Health!)
Oslyn is the founder of Conception Point and Her Health Horizons, two amazing initiatives aimed at helping women navigate the often tricky waters of health and fertility. She passionately discusses the importance of attending the Waves of Wisdom Summit—a three-day event filled with remarkable speakers, hands-on activities, and a whole lot of learning. The summit is set for May 16-18 in Delaware and costs $435. Honestly, the lineup of doctors, psychologists, and wellness experts make the investment totally worth it. Plus, you can find all the registration details at herhealthhorizons.com.
Why You Should Invest in Yourself
It’s not just about money; it’s about pouring into your health, happiness, and personal growth. Oslyn drives this home by explaining how the knowledge and connections made at the summit can hugely benefit not just you, but your family and community too. We’re talking emotional intelligence, mental health, estate planning, marriage—essentially all the pieces to help you thrive.
Health Advocacy in Focus
One poignant part of the episode is Oslyn’s call to Black women to be proactive about their health, especially before pregnancy. The conversation shines a light on how important it is to manage conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, knowing that the medical field doesn’t always listen to Black women’s health concerns.
From Guyana to the U.S.—A Journey of Resilience
Oslyn shares her journey from Guyana to the U.S., moving to New York at age 11 with her mom and sister. The transition wasn’t easy, especially with different school disciplinary practices. Fast forward to today—Oslyn has been working for the government for over two decades and has degrees in IT and technology management. Her story is super inspiring, showing how education and hard work can pave the way to making a difference.
Stronger Together: Support and Community
The episode also dives into Oslyn’s personal struggles with unexplained infertility after already having one child. It was this journey that sparked her creation of Conception Point—a support system for women facing similar challenges. She even developed a wellness kit to help cleanse the body and balance hormones, speaking volumes about the power of community and mutual support.
