Summary

Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our humanity. Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become sacred acts of justice, powerful ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t.

This episode is specifically for those of us who grew up believing that we were "bad" or too flawed to be loved due to how we were treated as children/the conditioning we received in our childhood years. I've been thinking about my identity a lot as of late and once I learned that our identities were perfect when we were born, it made a profound shift in my life. Instead of grasping blindly at trying to be someone I'm not, I'm more focused on nurturing my "soil."

Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.
