AK21-09 Barrett Clemmensen Powell and Lori Leak is in San Diego

March 1, 2021June 28, 2025Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Barrett Clemmensen Powell, on air from March 2nd

During this interview, we talk about San Diego, why this and the next book are situated in the USA (pandemic related, and a link Lori discovered between the polio pandemic, Jonas Salk and racism in San Diego. The story is that the University of California San Diego wanted Jonas Salk to establish the Salk Institute and be a part of the faculty. But there was redlining in La Jolla. Redlining is housing discrimination. Blacks and Jews were not not being allowed to buy houses in La Jolla. Jonas Salk refused to come to the university unless Jews (he was Jewish) were allowed to live and own houses in La JOlla. That finally broke the redlining for Jews. It still continued for Blacks and is why there is still segregation and only about a 9% African American population in San Diego overall.

Barrett Clemmensen Powell has travelled and lived in Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East. Her future travel plans include Africa, Asia, and Oceania. After working for a decade as a newspaper and TV/radio journalist, she took her communication background and graduate theology studies to launch a spirituality-based entrepreneurial business development consultancy and resilience coaching practice to help women in business. Barrett enjoys travelling, learning languages (she speaks including French, Danish and Hebrew), writing, crafting, playing the guitar and hanging with Shalom and Shiloh. The first and second books in the Lori Leak children’s travel series took the African American main character to Paris and then Copenhagen to learn a new culture, language, food and history. Now in 2021, she is heading to San Diego, CA – nicknamed “America’s Finest City”. Children and their adults will now get to better know Lori and the Leak family as well as the things there are to see and do in this city. Richly illustrated by Kristen Palana, readers will see San Diego as never before! Barrett has this to say about the Lori Leak series: The story we tell ourselves about anything is the reality we manifest in our lives. When you stay focused on your vision, you manifest it. The effect of that story can be seen in our lives in the reality we create for ourselves. With Lori Leak, I am able to tell a story from the heart about a father-daughter bond, a family, and exploring the world. Travelling, visiting, or living in other cultures is central to my heart. You learn so much about yourself and your origins when you spend time with other people in their country and culture. Building bridges across cultures and between people is my mission, and travelling empowers me to accomplish my goal.

AK21-02 We feel your pain for you with Sam Hawksmoor

January 11, 2021March 19, 2023Sara Troy

‘An Authors Kiss’ with Sara Troy and her guest Sam Hawksmoor, on air from January 12th

WE FEEL YOUR PAIN – So You Don’t Have To.

You don’t have to live with pain. For years Doctors have ignored the underlying causes of pain – prescribing opioids and other painkillers that often lead to complications, or addiction, leaving a patient in a far worse situation. At the Jirdasham Institute, we will strive to take your pain away forever, with a drug-free treatment that really works. We make no claims about curing cancer or healing rheumatics. Our Jirdasham method is not a ‘cure’, but we promise to remove your pain and let you get on with living again. Can’t live with pain? Get rid of it. FOREVER

The CASE: Delaney and Asha run the Office of City Oversight. Their role is to expose the scams, keep Berg City safe from unscrupulous contractors. When something looks too good to be true – it’s a scam, right?
But what if the scam works? What kind of scam is that?

308 complaints about Jirdasham are suddenly withdrawn. It gets Delaney’s interest. When he meets Mr Abrams, owner of the last bookshop in the city, he learns he paid thirty grand to the Jirdasham Institute to be rid of his pain. Seems it worked – for a month. Delaney knows something about this stinks, but what exactly? As the contract says – any pain after that is ‘new’ pain and caveat emptor.

When Delaney finds himself left for dead at the bottom of a cliff he knows that something really dark is going on here.
Would you pay $30,000 bucks to get rid of your pain? You would? Then this scam is for you.

AK20-47, Lionel Fieldberg, Full Service, African Shamans, and Springbok airways. PRT2

November 16, 2020April 26, 2021Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Lionel Fieldberg, on-air November 17th

We have explored in our first show, Lionel’s long career in film making and his amazing journey into putting the wonders of life on film. In this show, we explore his book ‘Full Service” and all it has told us about Hollywood stars and we look at his two new books on African Shamans and Springbok airways.

Netflix’s “Hollywood” is based on a true story of which Lionel wrote the book called “Full Service” along with Scotty Bowers, the true stories of Hollywood’s sexual adventures.

Full Service…Adventures in Hollywood and the Secret Sex Live of the Stars

Now the subject of the hit documentary Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood, praised by Vanity Fair as “full of revelations” and Entertainment Weekly as “deliciously salacious,” Full Service is the remarkable true story of Scotty Bowers, the “gentleman hustler,” during the heyday of classic Hollywood.

AMAZON

Full Service is not only a fascinating chronicle of Hollywood’s sexual underground but also exposes the hypocrisy of the major studios, who used actors to propagate a myth of a conformist, sexually innocent America knowing full well that their stars’ personal lives differed dramatically from this family-friendly mould. As revelation-filled as Hollywood Babylon, Full Service provides a lost chapter in the history of the sexual revolution and is a testament to a man who provided sex, support, and affection to countless people.

A History of South African Airways since its inception to the post-apartheid era.

DUE OUT JULY 2021…PRE ORDER HERE

South African Airways pioneered flight throughout Africa during the colonial era, long before airports, supply services, radio and weather forecasting capabilities even existed.

Its staff and equipment served with the Allies in Europe and North Africa during WWII and it met the enormous challenge of having to circumvent African airspace when flying to destinations abroad after most African nations closed their skies to it in protest against the country’s racist policies in the early sixties.

Over the years SAA grew into one of the world’s major domestic, regional, and international carriers. Its long history was eventually terminated and replaced by a new entity in 2020 with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. In its original incarnation, it could proudly boast of being one of the world’s oldest and longest-surviving international carriers. It is still seen by many around the world as the airline with that much revered and fondly remembered emblem, the Flying Springbok.
