The shit we need to talk about this week: being in survival mode and the power of reflecting on the past - on times and generations that navigated the hardest of experiences in order to simply live and also create change for the future.

Ya’ll. In this rich and deeply honest conversation, Colice Sanders (she/her) joins me to explore what it means to create joy and meaning in the midst of chaos, grief, and systems that weren’t built for us. Through personal storytelling, ancestral reflection, and radical truth-telling, we unpack how resistance can look like joy, survival, or stillness—and why legacy isn’t just about big actions, but about the everyday choices we make to sustain ourselves and our communities. This episode is a reminder that even in the mess, we still get to choose joy, we still get to show up—and this is not the end.
