The Audacious Black Girl Podcast

In this episode, my guest Bianca Hannon (Social Worker and Digital Content Creator) and I talk about the power of using your voice and finding the confidence to be authentic in a world that can make you feel like you're not enough. Bianca discusses how she found her voice after being mute until the age of six and having a speech impediment. Her journey highlights the power of self-acceptance, the importance of finding your voice, and embracing how you show up in the world to make an impact.

It's Mental Health Awareness Month! In this episode, I unpack a recent study that discussed how depression shows up for Black women. This topic hits close to home because I went through a depressive episode years ago, and my symptoms didn't align with what I thought depression was.  Somehow, I got through it, but my goal is to help provide Black women the awareness they need to understand that their experiences are valid. You deserve care and to be healthy! I also give you three tips to start caring for your mental health!Have a topic or question you want me to explore?

In this episode, I chat with Jamilah Pitts, Social Entrepreneur and Educator, about the importance of Black wellness and how it intersects with social justice. Jamilah's work focuses on wellness for Black women and other women of the global majority. She believes when we are well, we change the trajectory of our legacies. Her own story of radical rest led to her truly standing in her purpose and finding the audacity to live a life dedicated to wellness.

This is the second to last episode of Season 2! This episode is all about black girl healing, liberation and empowerment. I discuss what healing is and why these three things are aligned. Speaking to so many amazing black women with the podcast and connecting with many more on and offline has presented a common tenet. Our healing is active and must be intentional. Our liberation comes from that healing which all leads to empowerment and audacity.
