This week, I talk about Shame and Black womxn - how it comes from generational trauma, and how we can free ourselves to live outside of it. I reference thought leaders I trust and respect like Brene Brown, Melissa V. Harris-Perry, and bell hooks - so it's a well-rounded conversation in this piece about shame. Let's get into it.
The books referenced this week are:
Brene Brown, The Power of Vulnerability: Teachings of Authenticity, Connection, and Courage.
bell hooks, Sisters of the Yam: Black women and self-recovery
Melissa V. Harris-Perry: Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America.
