Dr. Menzies shares her journey through education – both as a student and educator – and offers insight into her vision for accessibility to our cultural legacies as Black people. Our roots spread wide, and our stories are waiting to be told. Tune in and find out how you can tap further into your personal history and deepen your relationship with self.

0:00.0	On this week's episode of Cultivating Her Space, what's liberating for me is
0:06.6	only that nothing is inevitable. Like the way things are, aren't the way things
0:12.8	have to be. Things don't have to continue on this track. Like seeing the fugitive
0:19.4	spaces that were created, that are divergent, has been liberating for me. It
0:25.3	gives me hope. I'm not an optimist, actually, which is why I needed to hold on
0:30.9	to something real. I needed to see something real and existing. To be like, okay,
0:35.5	we can do that thing. Today's episode is sure to provide you with motivation,
0:40.7	inspiration, or a fresh perspective. If you have any aha moments or appreciate
0:46.9	anything from this episode, please leave us a review to let us know we're on the

1:32.5	everything from five boards to fake friends and create a safe space where
1:37.1	black women can just be. Hey, lady. It's Dr. Dom here from the Cultivating
