An Audacious Black Girl’s Reclamation After Divorce

In this season finale of Audacious Black Girl, I’m sharing the most personal chapter of my journey — not as a story of loss, but as a story of reclamation.

For a long time, I thought the hardest part of my life would be the ending of my 20-year marriage. As devastating as it was — and as difficult as the decision had been — what I came to understand is that the hardest part was losing myself inside of it. In this episode, I reflect on the quiet unraveling that led me to the hardest decision I’ve ever made, and the courage it took to finally choose myself — not just in words, but in action. What it took to choose radical self-love, radical self-respect, and overcome intense heartbreak and disappointment to lean into the sacred acceptance of endings. 

I talk honestly about grief, fear, and the deep healing work that came with releasing a long-term marriage that no longer aligned with the woman I was becoming. What felt devastating also became an initiation — a return to myself. Through this process, I reclaimed my voice, my sovereignty, my intuition, my time, my peace, and my alignment.

This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a difficult decision, or learning how to find their footing after an ending. This is not a story about failure. It’s a story about my becoming.
