#6 Erica Brown (Black Stories Matter) / Penelope McCourty (Choreographer) "Body Positivity"

Theresa and Shana talk about body image and becoming more self-aware of the negative self talk we send to ourselves when we judge others. In studio guest, Erica Brown, talks to us about her process in overcoming shame and reconnecting with self-respect as shared during her TMI Project's Black Stories Matter performance. She also shares the complexity of raising boys in today's world of police shootings, school shootings and toxic masculinity. Penelope McCourty, dancer and choreographer in NYC, discusses her long career working with others and how she helps her community find themselves through dancing. Don't forget, practice your self care to dismantle the patriarchy.
