Straight From the Horse’s Mouth—Inside CHOMPING AT THE BIT with Dr. Matt Evans
When Matt Evans first picked up a James Herriot book, he had no idea it would inspire his future career as a veterinarian. Determined to make that dream a reality, Matt headed to veterinary school, where he discovered a passion for equine medicine. There was just one small catch…he hadn't grown up around horses!

But a lack of horse experience wasn't about to stand in his way. Through hard work, determination, and a few learning curves, Matt found his place in the world of equine veterinary medicine.

Join us for a fun and insightful conversation about the ups and downs of equine medicine, how humor helps us navigate difficult times, and why veterinarians are often spotted wearing puffy vests.

Whether you're a horse owner, an animal lover, or someone who's ever dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, there's something in this episode for you.

What happens when the friendship you've spent years building is tested by the very truths you've spent years avoiding?

Can a friendship survive when love, loyalty, and good intentions collide with the uncomfortable realities of race?

On this episode of On the Air with Florenza, I welcome acclaimed author Natalie Baszile, whose bestselling novel Queen Sugar inspired the award-winning television series produced by Ava DuVernay and Oprah Winfrey. Now, Natalie returns with her powerful new novel, Friends and Family.

For ten years, Babs and Nora have shared morning walks, family secrets, and the intimate details of their lives. But when a traumatic police encounter involving Nora's adopted Black son, Nathan, exposes the differences in how these two women understand race, identity, and motherhood, their seemingly unbreakable friendship begins to fracture.
As Nathan seeks refuge with Babs and her family, difficult questions emerge. What does it truly mean to be an ally? Can good intentions compensate for uncomfortable truths? And when protecting someone you love means challenging someone else you love, where does loyalty belong?

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about friendship, privilege, motherhood, belonging, and the courage required to confront the truths we'd sometimes rather leave unspoken.

Because sometimes the greatest test of friendship isn't whether we can stand together when life is easy, but whether we're willing to confront what divides us when it isn't.

🎧 Listen. Read. Ponder.

Before her words captivated readers and inspired a groundbreaking television series, Natalie Baszile was a woman discovering the power of her own voice.

What does it take to remain true to yourself when your creative journey leads you somewhere you never imagined?

On this episode of Intermissions, I welcome acclaimed author Natalie Baszile, the brilliant storyteller behind Queen Sugar and Friends and Family, for a conversation that takes us beyond the books and into the life of the woman who wrote them.

From her journey as a writer and educator to the extraordinary experience of watching Queen Sugar become a beloved television series, Natalie shares insights into the experiences, influences, and personal convictions that have shaped her creative path.
We explore the lessons learned along the way, the importance of staying connected to one's authentic voice, and what it means to continue growing creatively after achieving a milestone many writers only dream of.

Because success may introduce the world to your work, but it's the journey that reveals the person behind it.
