Creator, Community Builder, and Poet Alysha English sits down with me this week to unpack some deeply relevant and poignant experiences. Alysha shares stories about intuition, loss, and longing for home — and we confide in each other about the difficult choice between fitting in and taking up space. Together we discuss the very personal nature of a professional pivot and we have a fascinating conversation about the diverse fabric of Blackness, the Harlem Renaissance, and making the shift from belonging into being. Alysha enlightens me about the problem with conflating self-care and self-indulgence — and we get a preview and private reading from her breathtaking new book, I Wrote This To Heal.
