True Black Feminine's Revolutionary Dreams Podcast

This week we celebrate and commemorate historical events in the U.S. Never before has it been more important to turn towards ourselves and face the truth of who we are. We believe that turning away and contracting from the big feelings and the truth of who we really are keeps us safe. Feelings like panic, stress, and shame can seem overwhelming and as if they will take us over. Lifting the Veil is the first step of turning towards  and not turning away from those feelings. It was creating the space to turn towards my own feelings, my own shame and guilt that ultimately lifted the veil of darkness I’d been inside of and allowed me to see the glory within. Join me as we learn how to create the space for our most amazing journey inward.

Join me as we look using the groups we belong to as an access point to relating more deeply with ourselves and others. Especially for black women, indigenous women, and other women of color this is critical to our sense of self.

What would be possible for us if we allowed ourselves to dream fully?  Living from the Unlimited is an invitation to step into possibilty from the place where we are.  Can we hold our reality and our dreams at the same time? Yes, we can. Join me as we step into dreaming and visioning a future where we all thrive.

When you are always "waiting to exhale," breathing is revolutionary. Catching our breath is stepping into our capacity to hold and contain our own air and breathe in and expand to hold all that is within us. It's the simple act of learning to breathe. The True Black Feminine is about being revolutionary, turning back, towards ourselves as an act of radical self care and self love.

I was always waiting to be able to say, 'I am healed.' I came to realize that healing is a journey not a destination. Healing and the power of intention is creating the conditions for healing from the inside out. We can use our healing as the spark to our own self actualization. The True Black Feminine is about being revolutionary, turning back, towards ourselves as an act of radical self care and radical self love.
