Enculturation is the process of becoming a member of your culture: you learn values, beliefs, and attitudes.  Female enculturation is a set of beliefs and attitudes that privilege males over females and these are fed to babies, to little girls, to teens, to young women and reinforced throughout a woman's life.  A few males hold power and that is the sole purpose of enculturating females to believe that they are less than and less entitled.  What can we do differently?

Elevate Womxn Collaborative thinks about self-care in the broadest sense.  We have some fresh ideas and some old good ones.  Aisha interviews four women at random at a restaurant and asked, "What do you do for self-care?"

It's time!  You can design your life to meet your needs.  Every woman can reach for and attain personal happiness.  There is a two-part process explained in this episode.  Elevate Womxn Collaborative promotes women supporting women.  We can support each other to do the internal work and be there for each other as we transform our lives.  Everyone benefits from women becoming stronger.
