Alysha English - Making Shift from Belonging into Being

Creator, Community Builder, and Poet Alysha English sits down with me this week to unpack some deeply relevant and poignant experiences. Alysha shares stories about intuition, loss, and longing for home — and we confide in each other about the difficult choice between fitting in and taking up space. Together we discuss the very personal nature of a professional pivot and we have a fascinating conversation about the diverse fabric of Blackness, the Harlem Renaissance, and making the shift from belonging into being. Alysha enlightens me about the problem with conflating self-care and self-indulgence — and we get a preview and private reading from her breathtaking new book, I Wrote This To Heal.
