Balancing Advocacy and Personal Well-Being

Send us a text

Can a powerful group of women change the political landscape of a nation? In this episode, I explore how Black women have consistently been at the forefront of political activism in the United States. With the startling statistic of 92% of Black women supporting Doug Jones in Alabama, I delve into the critical role they play in pushing back against alarming executive actions. As part of our discussion, I bring to light the importance of resilience and solidarity, reminding us of the collective strength needed to navigate these tumultuous times.

Personal well-being and community building take center stage as I unpack the emotional and physical toll of activism on Black women. History shows us that while Black women lead social justice movements, they often do so without sufficient support. I share cautionary tales, like that of Eric Garner's daughter, to highlight the dire need for self-care and community-centric efforts. As social services dwindle, mutual aid becomes a lifeline, and I emphasize the necessity of balancing activism with nurturing our own health and well-being.

I recount my own journey towards a healthier lifestyle, highlighting key areas like physical health, relationship-building, financial stability, and mental well-being. Through personal stories, I encourage listeners to embrace change, manage stress, and focus on self-growth. This episode is not just a call for empowerment but a guide to readiness, arming listeners, especially Black women, with the tools to face future challenges.
