37: What Oprah Taught Us
Today's episode is all about honoring Oprah Winfrey. I am joined by my friends Andrea Kingsley-Miller, Cha Sears-Barefield, Marcie Alvis-Walker, and Monica DiCristina.
I wanted a fun episode with some of my closest sisters and what better way to spend time with them than on a podcast talking about someone we all admire and have looked up to since childhood. We each share our earliest memories, what we've learned from Oprah, our own AHA moments, and what we would say to Oprah if ever given the chance. We love you Oprah and hope you know what a profound impact you've had on us and millions all over the world.
29. Black Women Woes Part I
Today's episode was birthed from an idea that I had several months ago. So Cha, Lettie, Marcie, and Patricia all said yes to speaking about the power of being a Black woman and some of what we deal with on a regular basis. I wanted to utilize the month of August to talk to feature all of us together. This episode is more than I could have dreamed. They represent healing, love, courage, authenticity, and truth. Listening to the convo made me proud to be in community with them and this wasn't just a podcast recording--- it was Black Woman power being exemplified. Here are just a few of the questions that I asked them:
1. What will you no longer return to?
2. What will you no longer accept from others?
3. How are you honoring your Blackness from the perspective of self-care?
4. How is pleasure incorporated into your lives? What give you pleasure?
5. What have you learned about love?
