In This Time (Shorts): Episode 7 – Leaning into Faith & Resilience

Facing big news: Ayo's space mission and Kathy's health. Witness deep personal journeys of faith, resilience, and acceptance. Strength, wisdom, and profound moments await. In “In This Time.”

Life's deeper questions often emerge in quiet moments. For Ayo, riding home from Howard University, memories of Carmel's past brush with a cult sparked deep questions about purpose and meaning.

He confided in Ashanti, admitting the incident "rocked our worlds" and made him question his purpose, despite their abundant success. "Babe, we need to lean into the faith that our parents instilled in us," Ashanti urged. Ayo, the "scientific mind", was surprisingly open, confessing he'd been having "dreams" – more like "callings" – and revisiting his father's "Seven Principles for Kingdom Living".

The urgency intensified with an unforeseen call from NASA: Ayo was on the shortlist for a month-long space mission. If he went, he didn't want to "feel hollow". He longed to explore space without losing touch with his soul.

At the same time, a profound message arrived. Kathy Smith, former CEO of Avant-Garde Metaverse and Ashanti's cherished mentor, quietly shared with her close circle that her cancer had advanced to Stage Four.

Kathy's voice was calm, not seeking pity, but presence. She planned to live "well" and focus on the things and people she loved. For Ashanti, it was a profound sense of witnessing, as Kathy had always been a "blueprint" and "compass". Her diagnosis, rather than stopping her, focused her. It heightened her commitment to her memoir, garden gatherings, and writing encouraging letters to young women in tech.

Faith and vulnerability can be powerful anchors amidst life's biggest challenges. Discover these profound journeys in In This Time.
