Strong Black women didn't just miraculously appear on the scene. They were little Black girls who grow up to be strong Black women. 

In this episode of the Shades of Strong podcast we take a deep dive into how Black mothers unconsciously teach their daughters to live a life that aligns with the myths and stereotypes of the strong Black woman, and how rewriting the narrative is long over due. 

She admits that living an uncaped life is challenging because she was introduced to the Superwoman mentality in childhood and kinda felt like Superwoman was her destiny, but after losing her father she knew it was time to do life differently.  She reluctanlty sought support by way of therapy and is now takiing her life back.

If you've ever felt alone, voiceless or hopeless,  you'll want to tune in to hear Lakeisha talk about how she made it over and how uncaping has changed her life for good.
