In this powerful episode of Black Oxygen, host Angela Russell sits down with Carla Williams, CEO and founder of The View From Here Wellness Collective, for an intimate conversation about self-care, collective care, and what it means for Black women to move from survival to thriving.
Carla shares her Wisconsin story—from her family's journey from Chicago to Madison in a car without floors, to building a life rooted in community and care. She opens up about the heartbreak that sparked The View From Here Wellness Collective and her realization that Black women often build their identities around giving to others while neglecting themselves.
Through honest storytelling, Carla explores the revolutionary act of rest for Black women and the importance of reclaiming your own narrative. She discusses her podcast "Black Women Deserve," the power of dating yourself, and learning to receive care without suspicion or hesitation.
Carla reminds listeners: "You're not behind. You're not too late. You're not alone. Healing doesn't look perfect, and wherever you are right now, it's exactly where you need to be."
