In this episode, I recap how a year ago I was in a very dark place and the tools that being isolated in the pandemic gave me. We touch on the recent Meghan Markle interview and dive into boundaries and self love, especially when you're mixed but one half of your family is racist (boundaries needed!)

Hi loves! Todays’s episode is with astrologer Maxine Luzia, host of Astrology & You Podcast. She’s a professional astrologer who I became obsessed with after listening to her amazing podcast that she co-hosts with Alice Bell. Their podcast is such a gem of a resource for anyone who is getting into astrology, and after connecting with Maxine, I booked a reading with her where I got an in-depth understanding of my birth chart. We unpacked my Sagittarius stellium and my career purpose and I was able to see the biggest challenges I’ve had to overcome (internally & externally!) in a new light. If you want to learn more about astrology or to book a reading with Maxine, you can find the links below:Listen to Astrology & You: https://www.maxineluzia.com/podcastBook a Reading with Maxine Luzia: https://www.maxineluzia.com/Follow Maxine Luzia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maxineluzia/Follow Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexisbarber/?hl=enFollow Me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alexisbarber_?lang=enContact me: [email protected] www.alexisbarber.com/contactBook a consult with me: www.alexisbarber.com/consultations

In this episode, I talk about society’s love to appropriate Black women’s culture and aesthetics, but their failure to show up for Black female humanity - as represented through the lack of support for them in every industry, the high rate of deaths for Black Trans Women, and the abuse, neglect, and failure to support Black women in the medical field as well. Stereotypes like the “strong” and “angry” Black woman are what are keeping us from accepting Black women, and I tell stories of how that has changed my life and kept me from being my full self too.
