With the hashtag #RemainInspired as a rallying call, AST SPEAK invites viewers into a transformative space where knowledge meets soul and vision becomes action.A Vision Rooted in Land and Spirit NIA is both a broadcast platform and a consultancy devoted to instituting and promoting Culture, Healing, Education, Spirituality, and Arts (CHESA). Its mission is clear: to uplift and help heal national, regional, and international communities, advancing a liberated and shared humanity. Through this work, NIA nurtures a culture of remembrance and innovation—centering Indigenous Afrakan knowledge and celebrating the living links between heritage and healing.Meet Queen Mother Dr. ChenziRa Davis Kahina Affectionately known as Dr. Chen, Queen Mother Dr. ChenziRa Davis Kahina embodies the grace and rigor of an interdisciplinary modern renaissance woman. She is a Griot, Educator, Creative Artivist, Communications Technologist, Ordained Priestess, Author, Cultural Heritage Researcher, Global Visionary, Holistic Naturopathic Therapist, Mother, and Grandmother. Her life’s work interlaces culture, creativity, and consciousness, advancing a holistic framework she calls CHATS4LIFE—Culture, Healing, Arts, Technology, and Spirituality—five threads that together enrich everyday living and empower communal flourishing.CHESA and CHATS4LIFE: Two Pathways, One Purpose

• CHESA (Culture, Healing, Education, Spirituality, Arts) anchors NIA’s programmatic and consultancy offerings—shaping curricula, community dialogues, and art-based healing practices.
• CHATS4LIFE (Culture, Healing, Arts, Technology, Spirituality) reflects Dr. Chen’s expansive approach to creative and spiritual life design—embracing both the ancestral and the emergent to meet the moment.

Together, these complementary frameworks cultivate cultural literacy, creative resilience, and spiritual grounding—tools essential for personal, communal, and planetary well-being.What to Expect on AST SPEAK Every 1st and 3rd Thursday, AST SPEAK curates cross-disciplinary conversations and experiences that uplift, educate, and inspire:

• Cultural memory and Indigenous Afrakan wisdom carried forward through story, song, and scholarship
• Healing arts and holistic practices for mind, body, and spirit
• Education as liberation—pedagogies rooted in dignity, curiosity, and community
• Spirituality as a unifying force across traditions and generations
• Arts and “artivism” to catalyze transformation and social good
