In this episode, we listen to and hear from EbonyJanice Moore, a womanist scholar, author, activist, and the founder of Black Girl Mixtape—a platform that creates sacred space to celebrate the voices and wisdom of Black women. She talks about the importance of honoring her rage while cultivating joy and making space for rest, and the ways in which those with privilege can show up for people of color during this call for social change and justice. She also shares her personal journey with healing and her belief that “everybody needs therapy.”
