Hey, hey, welcome back to the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast, a space where the healing,

liberation, and well-being of black women is centered and prioritized.

My name is Breed Mitchell and I am not only the host of the show, I'm also the founder

of Brown Girl Self-Care as well as a self-care advocate.

Here I share tips, thoughts, and conversations that are cultivated to pour into your self-care

cup.

I'm so glad you're here, let's go ahead and get into today's episode.

Hello, hello beautiful black women, I am so glad to be with you today.

If you're listening to this episode on Monday, which is when I typically drop episodes, that

would mean that today is August 30th, 2021, and two very important things are happening

today.

And today is my birthday, okay, today is my birthday and I am just so blessed to be here.

I am so blessed to be able to say, you know, I've made it another year and I'm just so thankful.

I'm so thankful to God.

So that's number one, happy birthday to me.

I'm not typically a huge celebrated of my birthday, but today I wanted to acknowledge that because

usually I just kind of like let the day go by and I don't really see anything.

That's just my style.

What can I tell you?

So yes, I am announcing today is my birthday, okay?

Number two, number two, today is the official day of collective rest.

Today is the official day of collective rest for black women.
