LITE It Up

In this week's episode of LITE It Up Podcast, Dr. Aginah Musherah shares about her recent roundtrip and finally setting boundaries! For many Black women setting boundaries can be challenging. With the demands of work, family, and other obligations, many Black women experience challenges that can take a toll on their well-being.

“Many Black women are experiencing stress and trauma from the workplace including (micro)aggressive behaviors that have been increasing with the changing socio-political landscape.”

Enough is enough! It's time for Black women to set boundaries to protect their mental health and well-being.
