In this episode, I talk to EbonyJanice Moore about self-expression that is not restricted by any external conditioning or fear. We discuss self-love that goes beyond trauma healing and that positively effects how we show up in the world. We also talked about how the belief in a higher power can help us heed the call of our instincts and how to use those instincts to make better choices. If we have a lot of conviction and we want to use that to create change, how to go about it with compassion so we don't harm others and the most fun part of the conversation was about who, out of all the historical figures, would EbonyJanice  want to talk to when facing a challenging situation. 

This conversation can help you live a more intentional life, go down paths that you desire and that are truly meant for you. I especially enjoyed the version of faith and worship that EbonyJanice has shared because it's something that even the non-believers can find comfort in. 

EbonyJanice is the founder and CEO of The Free People Project and The EbonyJanice Project. She earned her Bachelors in Cultural Anthropology and Political Science and a Masters of Arts in Social Change with a concentration in Spiritual Leadership, Womanist Theology, and Racial Justice. The core and center of her work is the professional and personal liberation of Black Women and Femmes.

EbonyJanice has authored several books, including “Sacred Text for Black Folks Soul: A Book You Should Leave On Your Altar.” She has another book coming out on July 11th titled, All the Black Girls Are Activists. You may know her from numerous guest appearances on Podcasts, Youtube channels, and Instagram Lives, where she talks about Decolonizing Authority, Racial Justice, Black Women’s Body Ownership, and Womanist Theology. As the founder of the spiritual mentorship project entitled “Dream Yourself Free,” her message encourages the participants to understand that living a healed, wholly easeful, and pleasurable life is the actual resistance work and activism. She is the visionary and creator of Black Girl Mixtape, a platform and safe think space that elevates the intellectual authority of Black Women. The women of Black Girl Mixtape are currently co-creating an Afro-Futuristic theatrical production and re telling of the story of Igbo Landing entitled “The People Could Fly.”
