I’ve just started the process of deconstructing, and practicing connection vs. control. This podcast has been integral for me. I feel like they’re a community for me. A place I can feel safe, ask questions and be accountable.

They just classify these tears as being emotional. I hate White women tears. I am a sensitive person but I can’t afford to cry when I am actually hurt or upset but these White women cry with impunity.

Sometimes if feels like they think I’m making things up! I’m glad ... more
I appreciate how you all process the topics into bite sized pieces then give action steps to follow. You all don’t shy away from the hard topics that need to be talked about. And getting to laugh along is such a treat. Bravo and thank you!
