In this journey through the One Dark Universe, I sit with writer and storyteller Janette Yancey, whose voice carries the weight and wonder of motherhood, identity, and transformation. As a contributing author to Different Shades of a Mother, Janette gifts us the monologue “Masks of Motherhood”—a piece that reveals the hidden layers we often carry but rarely speak aloud.

Our conversation flows through:

• The cosmic dance between identity and the roles we’re asked to play.

• How masks can both protect and confine us—and what happens when we finally take them off.

• The healing power of storytelling, and why speaking our truth can ripple through generations.

• The beauty in vulnerability, and how creativity becomes a bridge between survival and self-love.

This episode is an invocation—a reminder that the Universe doesn’t just live above us in the stars, but within us in the stories we dare to tell.

✨ Let Janette’s words guide you into the sacred rhythm of unmasking, where strength and softness are not opposites, but companions.
