In this months episode I discuss Black Women's Experiences of Masking with the wonderful Efua, founder of Djedi Yogi. Efua has also just become part of the DTM! I Survived Surviving to Thriving group for founding members and it has been an honour building a beautiful relationship of shared growth and healing. We discuss the varying ways Masking impacts the lives of Black Women as we navigate life. In recent years more and more Black Women are receiving late diagnosis of Access Needs, Intellectual Needs and Mental Health.

Trying to not draw attention to ourselves in a society that fixates itself on policing our bodies and our experiences. Join us as we unpack some of our own experiences.
