In this episode, we explore the hidden costs of putting family first when it comes to housing stability, inspired by Regine Raphael’s powerful journey through homelessness and resilience. We unpack the intersection of racial disparities, domestic violence, and systemic barriers that disproportionately impact Black women and families, revealing how quickly anyone can find themselves without a safety net. Discover why accepting help is an act of strength, how targeted community interventions can make a difference, and why ensuring your own stability is essential to supporting others. Join us as we challenge the narratives around sacrifice, strength, and what it truly means to build a safer, more equitable future for all.
