We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions.This episode of Overnight Wisdom with Tendai Angela Rokkones is a radiant, soul-baring conversation between two women who hold deep reverence for self-discovery, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual reclamation.Tendai, Zimbabwe’s first Black certified female yoga teacher, shares her remarkable journey from studying law to building a healing-centered wellness business rooted in yoga, community, and rebellion. Through stories of her mother’s recovery, the sacredness of soft Black womanhood, and balancing motherhood, marriage, and leadership, she speaks of how yoga became a political and spiritual act of resistance.The conversation explores how Black and African bodies have been historically excluded from wellness spaces, and how Tendai disrupts this through visibility, softness, and intentional presence. She and Chisom dive into the intersection of business, motherhood, joy, and legacy - how holding space for others requires an ocean-deep well of self-awareness, ritual, and boundaries.The episode ends with powerful affirmations, embodied wisdom, and a reminder that healing, courage, and softness are radical acts - and also our birthright.Follow Tendai on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tendai_angela/#yoga #wellness #healing #representation #courage #motherhood #success #identity #community #empowerment #zimbabwe #africaSupport the show-----------------------------------On Overnight Wisdom, new solo episodes drop every Wednesday, with occasional guest and solo conversations released on Sundays.Streaming & Social LinksVisit our website https://overnightwisdom.com/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Chisom-Udeze Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5pD7OuPqWKDsd5ymoo7lSzApple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/overnight-wisdom/id1804746544Instagram https://www.instagram.com/overnight.wisdom/TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@overnight.wisdomLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/overnightwisdom/ RSS Feed https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2464633.rssConnect with Chisom on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/chisomudeze/
