What if the tension you feel during a hard conversation isn’t a sign to shut down — but a signal to go deeper?

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most uncomfortable weekends of my life — and why it turned into one of the most powerful. From navigating blind spots in a cross-cultural interaction to unpacking allyship, identity, and what it means to truly listen, this is an invitation to lean into discomfort — not run from it.

We talk about:

• Why I don’t use the term “race” the way society does
• What productive tension actually feels like in real time
• Why real allyship requires more than reading books
• The emotional reality of being a Black mother in America
• How honest dialogue can create real understanding — and real change

🧠 Reflection Questions:

• When was the last time you felt tension in a conversation and stayed present instead of shutting it down?
• What part of you gets activated in those moments — and why?
• How can you create or hold space for open dialogue, even when it feels hard?

This is your invitation to stay open, stay grounded — and most of all, stay in the conversation.
