We often struggle with placing value on our skill sets, especially if we are used to giving it away for free! It is high time we put some value on it and set some boundaries!

On this episode I talk about how we have to redefine the way we think of the word strong, being labeled as a Strong Black Women can sometimes stop us from taking care of ourselves. We have to redefine the way we think of strong and realize that taking care of our physical, emotional, and mental health is not a sign of weakness.

I am posting this episode knowing that I said Sandra Fulton instead of Sybrina Fulton, I was thinking of another black woman Sandra Bland and said Sandra instead of Sybrina, I didn't realize my mistake until after I ended recording but upon listening, I liked the episode, so I did not want to rerecord it. Sandra Bland is a black woman who we lost, and Sybrina Fulton is a mother who lost her son, both victims of racism.

We live in a culture that is obsesses with likes on social media, a culture where people spend hours on social media cultivating an image of who they think people will like. People alter their appearances, their personalities and their lifestyles to be liked. But have you asked yourself the question of what if they don't like me?  And are you okay with it if they don't?

From breast cancer awareness, to mental health, to self care, we covered a plethora of topics in season 2, but my number 1 episode for two years in a row was my episode from season 1 about Beyoncé and her love song to brown skin girls. So once again, thank you Queen Bey for being you!

To answer the question, no we are not there yet, we are not at herd immunity, we are not at racial equity, we are not on the same page and in order to get there, it will take those in power to stop thinking of their own agendas and focus on the good for all

Dear black Queens, you do not have to apologize for being strong, confident and accomplished. It is time to step into your power and own it and realize that you have a right to be where you are like everyone else.

Mental health awareness has been making the news lately, most notably with the decisions of Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles but mental health is not new and is a topic that should have been at the fore front of conversation for a long time. There is still a stigma attached to mental health and the more we talk about it, the more we will encourage those suffering with mental health challenges to speak up and seek help.
