Today kicks off our return from a ln extended hiatus while a I reflected and shared in community with women of the global majority. Our discussions centered on patriarchy, misogyny and selfcare for woc, especially Black women. This reintroduction is a call back to reclaim our power, autonomy, labor, and resources. It’s ultimately a recognition that selfcare for Black women, is revolutionary and political.

It’s time for black women to move beyond survival mode to thriving in spite of oppressive systems and institutions. selfcare and selflove are key to the ultimate survival and security of us all across both the diaspora and beyond. Rather than continuing to mule and toil for community and society, black women must de-center patriarchy, it’s agents and it’s allies. Because at the end of the day, no one is coming to save us so we must move accordingly.

Workplace toxicity is prevalent and women are the ones most impacted by it. For us, we’ve often had to make the choice between paying the bills or not. So how can women win in spite of it? Radical selfcare has to become central to all women’s lives, if we want to thrive even in the midst of patriarchy and all the oppressive systems, that are associated with it.

It’s a new season but there are a lot of issues women need to be focusing on this spring! There are so many distractions being pushed by mainstream media, but when it comes to our issues, it’s nothing but crickets (i.e. silence). Todays episode is a reminder that we need to come together as a collective and get serious because times are changing!

In honor of women’s history month, let’s talk about women navigating patriarchy and winning in spite of it! Todays rant, convo, and thought bubble is about women’s empowerment, and lessons to learn from Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, Shanquila Robinson, and more. It’s our time to get wise, rise and thrive!

Welcome to 2023 and a new season of the Undomesticated Woman Podcast! I’m coming in hot and spicy today because our sexual and reproductive health is literally on the line right now! For women of color, especially black women, we’re even more vulnerable given the fact that we have to deal with the added layers of racism and anti-blackness. For too long women have been silenced and shamed within communities, when it comes to sexual behaviors, issues, etc. While that has been changing it isn’t happening quickly enough spread awareness and advocacy around sexual healthcare and behaviors. I’m here to tell you now, YOU must advocate for yourself and speak up when it comes to ensuring that you are protected sexually. This starts with educating yourself about your sexual health, getting regularly tested, annual check ups, etc. This also means REQUIRING your sexual/ intemate partner verify his/her/their sexual and physical health status and using both birth control and condoms during intercourse. You NEED both! So yeah, it’s time to get real in these global streets! Are you ready? Listen up! #patriarchy #womenssexualhealth #womensselfcare

Now that we’re ramping up on our summer travel season, lets not forget about summer travel selfcare! I know what you’re thinking-travel selfcare? Yes, indeed! Vacations are our times to make space to really reconnect with ourselves and our relationships. It also allows us to break from the work hustle in order to refill our cups! Yay, for #summervacation!
