Join this weeks guest, Anika Francis, as she discusses what it was like growing up with a mentally ill parent.

Anika will share with you how being a child care giver affected her emotionally, physically, psychologically and how she has healed. She wants to talk to young people about the importance of their own health and balance in situations where they are forced to care for parents due to mental illness, drug or alcohol abuse, etc. Coming straight out of Detroit, Michigan, the birthplace of Motown music, this weeks musical artist TaQuita Thorns is the ultimate Rock&Soul diva.
