A reminder. A balm.After a year of historic moments and heartbreaking disappointments, I found myself revisiting old wounds that I thought had healed. Watching Kamala Harris—an educated, experienced, powerful Black woman—lose her bid for presidency was more than a political disappointment. It was personal. It reopened scars from my own life where I’ve shown up with everything I had, only to be overlooked, dismissed, or told I was imagining the bias I clearly felt.In this deeply vulnerable episode, I speak from the heart—sharing my grief, my processing, and ultimately my power. What started as a journal entry turned into a love letter. One written for every Black woman who’s ever been made to question her worth. Every Black woman who has had to carry so much, with so little recognition. Every Black woman who’s tired, but still getting up every day and showing out.This one’s for you.Whenever you need it.However many times you need to hear it.You are worthy. You are enough. You are allowed to rest.Themes in this EpisodeProcessing political disappointment as personal griefThe power and burden of being a Black woman in AmericaReclaiming self-worth and sovereigntyA love letter to the inner Black girl in all of usSisterhood as a global sanctuaryPermission to rest, to exist, and to take up space unapologetically
