  • In our Soul Session 7, Media Personality Dwayne Extol lays himself bare, chronicling his bout with depression, struggling with the death of his Dad when he was 10, to his dreams being dashed approximately two years ago. He emotionally discloses how one friend, in particular, saved him from thoughts of ending his life, and discusses his journey of refocusing and rebuilding, even as he continues to work to 'figure it all out'.

    Sharing about depression and emotions as a man in a society that tells you to 'man up' and 'be strong' takes courage. There is strength in vulnerability. Thank you for sharing Dwayne!

    So Simone I heard about your show on Dion Jackson's Radio show and the clip she played with Dwayne made me want to see the show. I have to tell you I am so proud of this presentation. It is raw and pulls at the emotions of the viewer. Who would have thought Dwayne, someone I admire on TV, is coming from such a dark place? To see the support he received from not only family but good friends, real good friends, is the anchor that keeps his ship afloat this turbulent journey called life. I found that with depression, one of the most important things you could realize is that you're not alone. Thank you for this excellent edutainment that will only empower our people to rise above the squalid place our history has placed us. Blessings

    Very very good session Simone. We needed a program like this for so long; God bless you on your journey. Dwayne’s openness and honesty in sharing his story was not just inspirational but motivational. Mental illnesses are real and it’s ok to personally admit that it exists and that it’s not a respecter of person. I am longing for the day when Jamaica even like here in Canada can be more increasingly invested, active and promotional about mental illnesses. Dwayne, I pray for you brother and know your story has found a special place in this world. You have overcome and will continue just remain positive and focus; having the right circle around you. Your struggles will be your growth but also to us, it will be a catalyst for us to growth through your struggles. Shine on brother, we see you.....we salute you.

    This is why we should not be critical and judgemental of others, we never or don't know their journey, of obstacles, challenges, happy, sad, up's and down's
    Just be there, be your brothers and sisters keepers without question without prying without doubt
    God has a plan and purpose for us all

  • @KINGDOMDAUGHTER
    @KINGDOMDAUGHTER Před 4 lety

    Dwayne, stay strong, be of courage, for God word said of His promise, He will never leave you nor forsake you.
    For when the grass withers and the flowers fades the words of God will be the same, His word is pure
    You are still here, when you think you have no one and no one care, trust and see how many shoulders are there to help carry you, so you have life here on earth for a reason, to be a guide and mentor to the weak and use your journey as a platform and stepping stone to be a light to others
    One love young man. Never regret your journey, all the good, bad and ugly for each has a lesson for your personal and spiritual growth
    Remember no weapon form against you shall prosper and prayer and faith is vital for the devil may go away for a season, but not forever, he came to destroy, kill, steal and hinder your path
    Love you

  • @Morales705
    @Morales705 Před 3 lety

    Dwayne today is not everyday… Jeremiah 29:11… God has the plans to prosper you & not to harm you. Keep in mind… attempting to have it all together is trying not I defeat the impossible… we will never have it together every time; it’s also perfectly okay to not know our direction at all times.

    Many individuals and especially Jamaicans never know that he or she unbeknownst to them that there are generational curse that has past on from generation to generation. Our parents, parents parents and grandparent and even great great great grandparents dabble in spiritual warfare and may or may not know that these covenants came in agreement with familiar spirits
    So practice prayer, fasting, meditation and deepening your identity in God through Christ Jesus. For we are His righteousness in God through Christ Jesus, created to know Him, worship Him, be in obedience to Him, accept His Will, and principles and laws
