Being a Melanated Mystic doesn't come without drama...in fact, 90% of the time, our mystical gifts come FROM trauma.  This episode, K & Cue break down the benefits of having experienced trauma as black and brown women, where our mother lineage plays a role, and how to own and disown what does and does not serve you.  We laughed, we cried and finger snapped our way through this one, and healed within every minute of it!
