Black Women Talking Back (BWTB)

Dr. Aleese and a brilliant and beautiful panel of sistahs discuss our need for deeper self-love and how to share it with one another.  Dr. Aleese argues that individual striving, achievement, or chasing the American Dream alone cannot save Black women in American. She calls on June Jordan, Alice Walker and bell hooks who put it plainly: "No level of individual self-actualization alone can sustain the marginalized and oppressed." Before we can fully show up for collective struggle, we need self-recovery. We need self-love.
