Dr. Chyrise Taylor - Wise Elder - Freed Slave Decendant
Today is one of my closest friends in all the land Birthday, Elizabeth Taylor. 30+ years ago today she came into this world, by way of the womb space of today’s Podcast Guest, Chyrise Taylor.
Chyrise and I have a very candid conversation ~ that leads into a huge life lesson on Acceptance. We dive deeply into her own lineage, hearing wisdom from her roots, from her Father’s side, Chyrise descends from a Jewish-European woman living in Barbados who falls in love with and marries a Freed Slave. They make their way up to Manhattan seeking different opportunities. Her Mother’s side, Freed Slaves living in the US become owners of a full city block of Brownstones in Harlem. This story is extra-ordinary and a unique look inside of a life. Chyrise shares the birth stories of all of her children ~ we explore so much together ~ and what an honor to have this conversation and be able to share it with all of you.
A Doctor of Nursing Practice, Dr. Chyrise Taylor has a family practice in the Catskill Mountains of New York where she lives with her Husband Kevin Taylor.
