The DRW Show

Okay, okay, I am sure you all think this is going to be podcast about my love for my amazing supportive husband. But, the reality is I am going to definitely share our mutual love for nature.

Today's podcast, I am going to discuss black in nature through sounds of music and nature. My love for the sound of birds, is due to my love for music, whether I am listening or singing.Yes, I can sing and carry a note or two.....

The content of today's podcast was written and produced in a raw space. The storyline maybe tougher to follow, because this topic was not easy to discuss or share. Thank you for your patience.

Imagine going throughout life, from childhood to adulthood and you are the only black girl or woman in the room. Thankfully, in most of those experiences I have been treated with dignity and respect, but like anything in life I have experienced ignorance too. Special thanks to Charles Williams (Husband) and Ellen Bashor (friend) for your feedback and edits for this week's podcast.

As I mentioned in the previous podcast, hair has caused what felt like restrictions or limitations for me. The theme of this podcast is definitely different than the first, but understand Black in Nature can be interpreted in different ways. My hair impacted how I was going to explore my environment around me. There's no way, I could talk about being in nature without addressing the obvious hurdle, my hair.

In today's episode I want to discuss my own experience in nature as a woman of color. This is a continuation of #blackbirdersweek #blacklivesmatter #blackinnature movements. If you have been following me on my social media accounts you will have I have participated in these movements. I want to start out by expressing this conversation is to share my own personal experience in nature. What I state does not mean every person of color has had this experience, but this my own truth.
