In this episode I go off the deep end about how I annoyed I am whenever I see people, particularly fellow white women, say “what’s possible for them is possible for you.” This is just not true, it’s harmful, dangerous, and can fuel comparison, anxiety, and depression. It also completely lacks an analysis of the impacts of white supremacy, patriarchy, and ongoing colonialism on our lives, businesses, and outcomes.
I want to shout out Ericka Hart and Ebony Donnley for their incredible work that inspires me always and particularly this episode. Their podcast “From Hoodrat to Headwrap” is a wealth of information and I encourage you to listen and support. Their latest episode, "Our Election System is Based on 5 Black People Being Worth 3 White, But the US is Definitely a Democracy."
I also discuss how therapy has helped me so much and how support for our mental, spiritual, physical, emotional, and psychological health is so important. I want to share Rachel Cargle’s, The Loveland Foundation, for any Black women and girls who want accessible therapy. Also, Better Help is an option for accessible and affordable mental health services/therapy.
