SUMMARY On today’s podcast we have the adventurous Heather Ellis. Heather is a communications specialist with a degree in journalism, and is the author of two books: ‘Ubuntu’ which details her motorcycle journey from south to north Africa and ‘Timeless On The Silk Road’ which details her motorcycle journey along the fabled Silk Roads of antiquity. What I personally love about this conversation is Heather’s courage shown throughout her motorcycling journeys. She travels on her motorcycle throughout some of the most fascinating and symbolic places on Earth, and it is in this conversation that we go deeper on her thoughts, reflections and experiences of travelling solo through Africa; a continent that has many a contrasting opinion, but one that is not truly ever known unless stepped onto. The culture, the history, the characters and the inevitable self-development and growth that comes from such places. Heather also shares very openly about finding out at 30 years-old that she had contracted HIV and how this diagnosis silenced her. She shares how it fuelled fear of shame, disapproval, rejection and isolation. All things that are not Ubuntu; Ubuntu being “I am because we are”; the essence of being human. Please enjoy this conversation on the To Be Human Podcast with the lovely Heather Ellis. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Heather Ellis joins us for a deeply human conversation about the extraordinary path her life has taken—one marked by bold choices, unexpected detours, and the kind of inner resilience that only forms through lived experience. Known for her solo motorcycle journeys across Africa and beyond, Heather opens up about the moments that shaped her long before the adventures ever began: growing up in rural Australia, navigating family expectations, and learning to trust her own instincts even when the road ahead was unclear.

She couldn’t do what due to her HIV diagnosis?!

VISIT: HTTP://BLOG.OPERATION-NATION.COM FOR CONTINUING TRIAL UPDATES!! Young, beautiful, "black," educated, and ambitious. The aforementioned adjectives collectively describe two not-so-very distinct types of American citizens: the type that goes on to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, professors, and Presidents; and the type that fits the perfect description inbred, Confederate Euro-American prosecutors and cops target for murder or complete destruction of their lives. As the late, great MC Trouble once said, "a white man's worst fear is an educated black man." In this case, however, she happens to be a woman. The story of the young, beautiful Ms. Heather R. Ellis, of Kennett, MO, (and the story of Clifton Williams,of Richton Park, IL) should (but won't) clearly articulate to hard-headed, inbred, Confederate Euro-Americans why Mr. Lovelle Mixon did what he did in Oakland, CA earlier this year and why Mr. Christopher John Monfort did what he did (that is IF he really did it) in Seattle, WA a couple weeks ago. Ms. Ellis, 24, was on a semester break from Xavier University in Louisiana back on January 6, 2007, when she returned home to Kennett, MO to visit family. That night, she and her 15-year-old cousin went to Wal-Mart to get a few items. What happened from there is the reason the U.S. Justice System is no better than that of Iraq, Somalia, North Korea, or Russia.
