The beauty industry has never really catered or considered black skin or hair.

Being scared to verbalize your wants and needs is a trauma response. There are many reasons we find having tough talks hard, and it ranges from our childhood experiences to the way we relate to the world around us. To many of us, it can seem easier to avoid an issue, rather than to address it.  Having delicate conversations can make us feel uncomfortable, or bring us back to points in our past we’d rather not address. Tough talks are no walk in the park, and they can leave us feeling anxious, stressed, and desperate for a way out.

The problem is that these conversations are often the most important ones we can have.  We have to overcome these hesitations, however, and we can do that by building up an understanding of who we are and why it’s so hard for us to address certain things and people.

According to Psychology Today, fear has the ability to alter our perception of reality in many different ways. There are two kinds of fear: one acute, life-saving direct fear, which heightens our awareness, and one slowly sneaking indirect fear, which lowers our awareness. The same basic emotion—fear—produces completely different results, depending on how it enters our reality and how we cope with it.  Join us for an important conversation about how we live with fear and how to let it go.
