This podcast episode is a discussion between 5 women, first, what are your values and what would be your top 5 values and if you had the opportunity to move to a new world which ones would you take?
What are values; What are the things that we would want to die on a hill if they were not being honoured?
Our values govern how and what we do unconsciously! ever wonder why you get mad or frustrated about a situation or a person? well, it's often because your value is not being honoured?

We explore and discuss this in-depth our own values! And what's interesting is that the discussion goes into exploring the impact on our mental health and the overall wellness of the black community.
Honesty can it be a value for black people in the workplace as one of their values
In summary
Comprising our values it appears is one of the things black people do every day to survive relationships and jobs. Can you imagine if black people went around sharing their value of honesty what a hot mess that would be! Our parents told us to work harder and dream bigger how has that served us! In our discussion, we take a look at the impact our values have on our sense of well-being/ mental health.
Often when people feel stuck or unfulfilled it is often when they are not able to fulfill their values/ beliefs. Can you even consider the impact of our internal dialogue when we are at odds with what we believe in and what we do?
That is why every black person should be accessing healing at some level!!
Did you know Healing can be physical: through Dance, Drumming, Yoga etc and traditional therapy which includes Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapies. Behaviour therapy behaviour therapy. ...Cognitive therapy. ...Humanistic therapy. ...Integrative or holistic therapy.
For a person, whether they're Black or not, who works best in metaphor and detail, Black storytelling can validate or strengthen how they communicate. We live in a society where we are told to talk, think, and write based on White cultural values. Black storytelling can be a symbol of healing and resisting.
