Amplify Melanated Voices

Hey, babe. I want to get really real and personal in this episode. I want to talk about the Black Lives Matter movement with the murder of George Floyd and how this movement is changing my life and the world. This movement is calling us to go deeper into our own work, look at our shadows, and examine our belief systems. No one is immune to this. It doesn't matter who you are. Racism systemic issue that starts with us, and it's our duty to get educated and help change happen.

I am 100% committed to using my privilege for good and to help support the Black Lives Matter movement, to amplify melanated voices, and really to just give more women of color a platform and an opportunity to share their voice and their gifts. I sincerely hope that you'll join me in listening, learning, and amplifying the voices that deserve to be heard.
