  • Episode 21: Breaking The Cycle w/ Juan Clarke
    “Becoming the YOU, you desire also requires you to know the YOU, you can no longer be” - Jahnay Go
    In this episode, MHA candidate and student leader, Juan Clarke reveals his journey in dismantling the cycles that were holding him back from developing and constructing sustainable, growth-promoting cycles.
    Honing in on his locus of control, Juan underscores the importance of giving yourself grace + shifting how you respond when things go “wrong” (WE KNOW A LOT OF US NEED THAT!)
    Oftentimes, cycles are viewed as negative, yet Juan welcomes us to challenge that; are all cycles really detrimental?

  • Episode 17: Growing Into You
    What does it really mean to grow into you? Haven’t you been yourself this whole time?
    Well, not necessarily.
    Constantly being shaped and re-defined by labels, perceptions, and expectations, many grow out of themselves and never grow back in.
    Yup, many grow out of themselves and never grow back in.
    In recognition of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, episode 17 illuminates the multitude of ways the ecosystem (friends, family, experiences) you grow up in pre-determines your self-love journey.
    If you’re looking to learn about the impact identity has on self-love, self-esteem, communication style, and the act of growing into oneself, this episode is for you.
    Thank you @4MahoganyGirls for being vulnerable, for being a representation. Thank you for providing a space for dark-skinned women to feel comfortable being.
    Thank you for sharing your truth.
    Authenticity starts with us.
