The Lotus Flower Podcast

The Lotus Flower Podcast aim is to educate, equip, and empower our listening audience while sharing culturally relevant educational topics.

The common name for Lotus flower is the water lily. It has the characteristic of opening in the morning and closing during the night. The lotus flower grows in muddy waters and rises through the murky waters to bloom into a beautiful pink and white flower. It signifies strength as it moves from the dark into the light. It also symbolizes inner strength in that it shows the determination to come out of difficulties. The very delicate flowers are likened to that of the Lotus Flower Podcast stories and interviews - they fill the atmosphere with positivity and natural fragrance.
