Dr. Elizabeth Ribarsky, Dating and Sexual Communication
After QUITE the hiatus, the Zephyr is back with a brand-new episode, catching up from an early-Covid 2020 interview with one of my professors from the University of Illinois at Springfield, Professor Elizabeth Ribarsky. Beth has a passion for Communication and how to convey new information to her students with Dating and Sexual Communication in creative and dynamic ways. Beth talks about her research on dating expectations and how various gender roles actually translate in real-life versus say, from The Bachelor, and how men and women present themselves, be it from how we dress to online dating apps. Gain some great incite about how social media and culture has affected individuals on how we handle rejection, interacting with each other, and how we affect each other nonverbally. Additionally, Beth had a hand in developing a fantastic textbook, "Activate Your Superpower" which was a collaborative effort for encouraging individuals to be advocates for applying practical themes and ideas that are designed to help people live better lives and helping improve the lives of others with kindness and compassion.

Hospitality and Religion with Fashion
I was lucky enough to get a chat with a most wonderful lady, Miss Henna Khemani. Henna is a professional concierge in Chicago and provides some fantastic insight with her education and training in hotel hospitality. If it's from the front of the house to the kitchen and dabbling in theater, its all about providing guests with the best possible experience and providing guests a warm and welcoming home-away-from home. Henna is also from India and a practicing Hindu, and she gives a very informative look into how fashion influences practices. What the occasion is and elements such as what region you live in, languages you speak, and what role the individual plays all play apart in what dictates the fashion of the moment. Colors, fabrics, gender, age, and time periods all play a crucial role in these wonderful customs.

Faith-Based Style with Kennysha Dumas
In dark and difficult times, professional or personal, sometimes having faith that things will come around and be better is more important than we think. My friend, Kennysha Dumas, is a minister that shares how she learned to keep a positive mindset and works to inspire the same in others when struggling, in a depression, or having self-confidence issues. She talks about career advice she was given on personal appearances, and shares her recommendations on those to look to for input on prayer, guidance, direction, or just someone to talk to.
