Afrikan Womxn’s Consciousness in The Changing World: Recent Episodes
Nourah Yonous
Based on my own inner-work: my soul liberation—unlearning and experiences as a colonial product/immigrant; an Afrikan Womxn who come from Womxn before me; I wrote a book, Un-Learning Patriarchal Bondage: The World Through The Lens Of An Afrikan Womxn, to be launched Winter 2021. It is through this evolving-process I found my own grounding and felt the need to dig deeper/connect my healing process with my greater-global community at large, on the importance of QUESTIONING and raising the VOICE of Afrikan Womxn. This podcast will explore Afrikan Woman’s voice and agency in “post-colonial world.”
“Afrikan Womxn’s Consciousness in the Changing World: #DecolonizePraxis; further challenge and question racial construct via Person of Color- (system based shaped) narrative. Being a Womxn in the patriarchal world has been terribly exhausting in the last 33yrs; but being a Womxn of color in America? Emotionally taxing and close to crippling, if you don’t self-assess: 🦋🦋🦋🦋#UnlearningPatriarchalBondage 📚. In this episode, I speak from soul evolving-journey that also calls for authentic solidarity among human “race..”, the constructed races struggling in careful/ drawn geo political border- boundaries and national-flag worshiping? But deep down- we are collectively searching for meaning and #Oneness? There’s Power in the #Love and Solidarity NOT shaped by religion, sexuality, race, gender, and all the shallow boxes we were forced to fit in—and navigate the world? How are we suppose to fully belong with #MotherEarth—with our majestic selves and bold existence wrapped in fear of the constructed “other”? I resist by saying I’m NOT Anyone’s Womxn Of Color. I’m That which Sees Light in All of Us-I am that which reflects my inner: Womxn of Color is NOT It for me—-because WOC box limits who I am, can be, in relation to all of us. This episode is also part of @AfricanWomenBusinessAlliance #SisterhoodandEconomy many series to be launched on my upcoming professional YouTube!

Gratitude and frustrations as I work on pivoting our model at African Womxn Business Alliance. On this episode, Im briefly sharing our raw tested-journey towards our fight on Holistic Approach to Business Development , Building Inclusive Culture for Inclusive Economy and Gender Equity in Business Development. While It’s been difficult navigating this work under structural-systemic inequities, AWBA’s strength and resilience continues to surprise me. I share 5 tips on better understanding and supporting Afrikan/Black Womxn Owned Businesses and Agency during this time. Beyond a hashtag, beyond buying from her. Gratitude 🙏🏾
In Gratitude to lessons learned but worth to mention we mustn’t be lesbians or crazy, for that matter, to stand in our truths and demand better for ourselves, our child/ren and planet earth. Namaste 🙏🏾
Life taught me Great Lessons and I’m Grateful I never allowed obstacles to run the compass of my journey with excuses. The older I get—the more I become intolerant of excuses and societal limited beliefs. Why #ImNotYourWomxnOfColor #AfrikanWomxnConsciousness
We can only evolve when we question-both ourselves, and the world around us. I’m revamping my work at African Womxn Business Alliance and welcome you on the journey to my passion led- purpose driven and gender equatable project: Building Inclusive Culture for Inclusive Economy. Thank you, Hooyo Macaan/Sweet Mama. Rest in Power #BuildingInclusuveCultureforInclusiveEconomy #AfrikanWomxnConsciousness
My Activism started from an early-age ; and from mere questioning the patriarchal-world: I never stopped and that led me to my own power of manifesting. Stand In Your Truth and Own/Know Your WHY and Purpose in Life! @AfricanWomenBusinessAlliance #HolisticApproachToBusinessDevelopment #StandInYourTruthManifesto 🧘🏾♀️🌀#BuildingInclusiveCultureforInclusiveEconomy #AfrikanWomxnConsciousness
Here’s a little something about me: I don’t fold for shallow-patriarchal power and culture or misogyny; even when it’s internalized by fellow Womxn who expect other Womxn to fold and sacrifice themselves. In this episode, I speak candidly to young Womxn in #entrepreneurship and encourage anyone to instill better boundaries in their lives, businesses, and practices as a whole: Because #Patriarchy is/will be very much alive by the time we have great-grandkids as well... #Boundaries #AfrikanWomxnConsciousness #UnLearningPatriarchalBondage
Why is it so EASY and Normalized? to be a consumer in American culture—than it is-to actually live in peace? and witness justice system do its justice work as/for Afrikan Black Subjects? For Breonna Taylor! I love you, Sea-Star! You Matter! You Mattered. You will always Matter!
What is Patriarchy in relation to Womxn’s Control of the Body and her Agency in the World? Is Co-Dependence even a valid thing needed for true Divine Partnership? What about patriarchal upbringing? In this episode, I’m choosing to be brave by touching on a little bit of both; as a conscious Boy Mom and a Womxn of My Own Soul Journey: #AfrikanWomxnConsciousness
It’s Time We Question Ourselves: Afrika is NOT a Western Episteme. She’s NOT, and shouldn’t be judged from a Western/Colonial Project: She belongs deeply to herself: She’s Going to always disappoint you if you don’t take the time to study her from her own literature and lived experience.. #AfrikanWomxnConsciousness
May you know yourself better—to know why you are on earth/soul entrepreneur. May you find strength to stick with yourself during these challenging times: A lot of people aren’t rooted in stillness and are building from fear based -survival mentality. < if you are in this environment, get out and protect your energy.
Most adults speak of 2020 from a very shallow and fear based approach? Maybe? Is it fair to say Kids and perhaps our dogs may differ? I heard my child talk to his dad + his friends about 2020 and it’s beautiful what we learn from our little giant heart (s), massive soul (s) and brilliant mind (s) we birth and have the privilege and honor of raising. I’m in awe and in gratitude for my champ, Abdel’Razak. My student and my teacher. #Motherhood #BreatheBridgeBloom 🌸
