On The Brink w/ Tracie Collins-Your Oxygen Mask Matters

Today, I’m joined by Tracie Collins.Tracie is an author, entrepreneur, business strategist, public speaker, and creative powerhouse. She is best known for her stage production Cold Piece of Werk, which confronted the human trafficking epidemic in Oakland, California. That groundbreaking work earned her a Mayoral Proclamation from the City of Oakland—declaring March 14, 2015, as Tracie Collins Day.Her work has always pushed against silence—whether around women’s rights, racism, or the taboo topics in Black culture. And in 2023, she made another bold move: leaving the U.S. to start a new chapter in Mexico.Her life is art, activism, and reinvention—woven together. And I can’t wait to share this conversation with you.
