This is the first podcast! In Episode 1, I talk about what you can expect, and what you won't get here! Let's start talking. 

Have you ever thought about what makes you think about yourself the way you do? Let's think about the way(s) you have engaged with your understanding of who you are, who some of the most respected Psychologists in identity development, and how I reconcile my sense of self considering some of my traumas around school. 

Erik Erikson- Psychosocial Development  

Ruthellen Josselson (Women Identity Development)

Adolescent Development (Marcia's 4 stages that make plain sense)

In this episode of She S.P.E.A.K.S.S.S., we dive into apologies that you shouldn't be giving: doing you! Learn why you shouldn't apologize for being you, plus hear a snippet of my book, 7 Days 7 Ways to Your Prayers and Praise. 

There's a long standing belief that Black women are angry, but have you ever considered why they are? Where did this mainstreamed idea come from? And, why are Black women still angry? Join me for this conversation about why America hasn't given Black women room to feel, and strategies for feeling your way back to being your whole and happy self.

THE 'ANGRY BLACK WOMAN' MAKES REAL WOMEN ANGRY (data for how America still perceives Black women) 

If "it takes a village to raise a child", is it bad to hold a high value to being a member of that village? This episode will dive into the reclaiming experience Black women have had in being a member and building community. Is building a community a bad thing, though? What has psychologist gathered information about Black women, and how are they speaking about how we relate to things beyond ourselves?

This last stereotype is up for discussion! Let's unpack why Black women aren't expected to be married, have children, and to not have any morals... who said so, and why are we living out someone else's negative thoughts?

"I think I can; I think I can", but then, some how you don't. If you have been dealing with knowing that you can accomplish something but mysteriously don't do it, I have a hunch that you may be secretly dealing with this! Many successful people do, so don't feel alone. Get ready to change your thoughts and words towards yourself, though! You are a PowerHouse!

Okay! So what do I mean when I call you a PowerHouse? Let's talk about it for real! Did I mention it's a Bible based blessing I'm speaking towards you? 

You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength!
