Adopted Black Girl

I am getting back to what I loved as a kid.

Have you ever wondered how to get back to your own identity? What is needed? 
In this episode, I talk about ways I am getting back to what I loved doing before I felt the pressures of society and I start with the top books I am reading for February & March. 

Let's get to the episode!

November is National Adoption Awareness Month (NAAM), which is a month to  increase national awareness of adoption issues, bring attention to the need for adoptive/kinship  families for children and young people in the foster care system, and emphasize what is actually going on in the adoption space. 

But really what is going on? I share my thoughts in this episode from different perspectives. 

See the White House Press Release I referenced here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2022/10/31/a-proclamation-on-national-adoption-month-2022/

I visited home in September, took a social break, recognized some shifts and had lots of coffee.

Restoring relationships can't be timed especially when you are relearning them through a different perspective. Let's talk about it. See you in the episode.

From when I was younger to now,  I don't know whose goals were more important- my family's or mine? 

In this episode, I break down the reasons of why I felt the need to be better than my birth parents and how that led to unhealthy habits. Have you been known to be an over-achiever because of the conditions of your adoption experience? 

...yeah, me too. Let's talk about it.

Thank you all so much for the love with the podcast and blog. As this community grows, please know I am appreciative and thankful for your continuous support! Btw, I am still learning how to edit so thank you for bearing with my sound. 

Is building a community as easy as everyone makes it out to be? Hmm, let's talk about it.
In this episode, I go through why community building is important to me, why Black Adoptees need it now more than ever and what are some barriers in the way. 

See you in the episode! I missed yall!

Relocating isn’t easy but consistency has helped the process. Since moving to Phoenix, I’ve adjusted to a lot and it’s been a ride.  Sometimes a healthy pattern is what we need to focus  in and listen to our own mind. 

Kicking this season off with a relocation Q&A. Let’s get into this episode.
