There’s power in admitting that we don’t have it all together. As Black women, we often fall into the trap of trying to live up to the expectation of being “strong”. But the reality is, being “strong” can do more harm than good when we don’t make room for ourselves to feel our emotions and make room for our own needs. In this episode, Meaux invites friend and creative artist, Bree Lee aka Brownskinned to explore the idea of the “strong black woman” and how Black women can show up with strength while still displaying humanity and vulnerability.
