I Am My Own Place

Advocate, mother, racial justice warrior, creator of safe spaces for women of color, especially Black women, LaTasha DeLoach and I sat down to talk about her Joy Journey and how she’s learned to be her own place.  As Black women in predominantly White spaces, trying to make the paths wider, and the space more comfortable for those who come with us, we talked about her work and her life; specifically how music feeds her soul as she traverses the many responsibilities and versions of herself that are required for her to navigate.  Blackness is not a monolith just as Whiteness is not a universal.  We are all trying to learn, grow, and become the best versions of ourselves in order to be well and do well in the world.
