Basking in the Black Girl Glow: A Conversation with Regina Lawless and Jasmine Nutt
Hey Village! Happy Black History Month, all month long. In this episode, I chat with Regina Lawless, founder of Bossy and Blissful and Jasmine Nutt, President of A Seat at the Table Community Initiative about their event, Black Girl Glow, which is a space for healing and restoration, showcasing various activities that cater to the holistic well-being of Black women. In this conversation, we talk about the importance of community support for Black women, the complexities of cultural identity, the challenges of burnout, and so much more.
