General FAQ

Q. What is The Blend Talk?

A. The Blend is an inspirational new online talk show that debuted in Fall 2018. The weekly hour-long episodes are hosted by a panel of accomplished African-American women who explore the means to heal spirit, mind and body. Knowledgeable healthcare experts themselves, they welcome guests with information on a range of topics.

Q. How did the web series come about?

A. In an earlier incarnation, The Blend was called The Lady Doctors. The creator of both series, LaVonda P. Rouse, came up with the concept after facing a serious health crisis herself. At the time, she prayed for an African American woman doctor to perform her surgery because “I wanted a physician with cultural competency,” said Rouse. Given her entertainment background, she sought to create a show that was a mix between The Doctors and The View, “with black women experts as hosts so they could deal with issues germane to us.”

Q. Who are the hosts?

A. The Blend Talk features three African American female wellness experts, Spiritual Life Coach Jewel Diamond Taylor, Psychologist Dr. Karen McGibbon and Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Lisa Lewis — the perfect team to help one elevate their spirit, mind, and body into the ideal blend.
