Vulnerability is the theme this week...

In this episode you don't get all my emotions but I think I did a nice job of talking about vulnerability, why that can be a struggle for me and why the trope of "Strong Black Woman" needs to gooooooooo

Also, there are so many examples I could have used but ain't it the way that they come to mind when you finish recording...
