Prepping for the Urban Woman / Urban Lady Prepper episodes

May 18 Throwing Down the Gauntlet: My - and Our - Manifesto for Survival
In this episode, I explain why being not just a woman, but a Black woman, in the prepping space adds urgent layers of complexity, and why authenticity, identity, and personal safety are non-negotiable for single women. It’s a call to action to prioritize community, integrity, and real-world resilience while refusing to stay silent about threats to rights and citizenship.
Practical steps include building a trusted disaster network, consolidating resources, auditing your environment, and staying informed on legal and social shifts. This episode offers an urban-focused roadmap for solo women and single moms to prepare holistically—physically, socially, and politically—for the new timeline.
