Strongest medicine to take is your own, speaker says
CARROL–Kuzuri Al-Amin hosted a Human Repair and Parent Support seminar on Feb. 18 at the Villa Rica Public Library to assist in human development.
Al-Amin, 66, is a life skills coach and inspirational speaker who facilities social workshops addressing the public’s mental and spiritual well-being.
This in-person affair reflects one of the new values seen within the current wellness trends analyzed by the Global Wellness Summit— wellness and gathering.
Wellness + Gathering
“We are moving from lonely, ‘solo’ self-care and ‘digital wellness’ to a powerful focus on in-real-life social connection and community—from the surge in social wellness clubs to the wellness world teaching us to communicate more deeply,” according to the 2023 GWS report.
Al-Amin structured his workshop based on the topic of people needing human repair. His thought-provoking questions allowed for vulnerable discussions and meaningful reflections.
As people shared their testimonies, one of the things that stuck out to the speaker was ownership.
“The strongest medicine to take is your own,” Al-Amin said. “You are with you all the time… Imagine being with yourself 24/7, 365 days, all the seasons alike and you love and respect and trust you, versus the opposite. Two completely different ways of doing life.”
The speaker emphasized the importance of self development and how accountability empowers healing.

Yvonne Walters, 61, was one of the attendees who has made it a priority to focus on her mental health.
“I work 9 a.m. on Saturdays but I have asked my boss if I can go in at 2 p.m. so that I am able to come to these workshops,” Walters said. “I have to do this for myself, and it is not about being selfish, but being in an environment that gives me self-confidence to then continue to do my job.”
Sylvia Taylor-Wigly, 55, was there to support her brother’s seminar but also gave her perspective.
“Repairing is a minute to minute daily strength, a new growth when you get to the point of not letting anybody interrupt your internal peace,” Taylor-Wigly said.
Social Media
The speaker reminded his guests to not ‘rush hour’ their healing or compare it to somebody else’s journey as temptation and misguidance lurks from those who may or may not mean well.

Al-Amin provided the analogy of human repair being more like a slower cooker than a microwave to represent both experiencing emotions and the repairing process.
“Let it cook in that Crock-Pot,” Al-Amin said. “Take your time with it and let it take time with you.”
Al-Amin hosts frequent events geared for women, men and most importantly people with experiences and struggles.
Topics explored at the event:
What are you grateful for today?
What are you currently trying to repair?
Does forgiveness play a role in your repair?
What trauma are you battling?
