Fiana Andrews is a school psychologist and the driving force behind Approach2Link.
Approach2link is an initiative whose aim is to have people approach one another without apprehension. We help by sharing tips on how to be more approachable and on how to be approached. The tips we share are researched and are also ones that we have tried and critiqued to be true. We also plan events that create approachable opportunities. We enjoy the study of relationships and love sharing what we learn. It is possible that your dating life improves because you have tried a tip that we have shared; however, that is only an added bonus to what we am trying to accomplish which is for us to become creatures of interactions among our friends, family/church members, in addition to our boy/girlfriends.
Approach2link is a concept that was developed to address the issues that men and woman complain about which is men not approaching women and women not being approachable. We realize that there are many reasons why people believe these issues to be true. One being there isn’t many events that encourages interaction besides business networking events. Another reason is that many people do not know how to approach or be more approachable. Approach2link is an initiative created as a solution to this problem. We no longer want these issues to be the reason why people are not meeting each other any more. So Approach2link plans events that create approachable opportunities. Events that create approachable opportunities are events that promote interaction among individuals.
During our chat, Fiana shares a number of issues including some of things that men and women have shared during Approach2link events, some of the difficulties that men and women encounter approaching each other, the effect that the media and parents have on the approaching the opposite gender, how the church could be doing a better job teaching approaching, why Approach2Link’s events are held in a Christian atmosphere and why, Approach2Link’s use of social media, approaching online vs. approaching in person, how to approach, the “GAP” & “CLOSE” acronyms when it comes to approaching.
@girlblessed from Michigan called in to join the conversation and asked some great questions.
Fiana ends the show by sharing her future plans and her call to action for Black men and women.
