to the black girl in mourning: making room for the life you desire

To the black girl who is grieving the life she thought she would have by now, I see you.So many of us are living in a reality that we never expected or planned for. We feel angry, we feel lost, we may even feel numb here. Yet, what we refuse to feel may be the key to actually transcending this space and moving towards something greater: grief.Grief can be a heavy emotional experience that’s hard to hold, but it’s so necessary. Sometimes, when we feel stuck in life, it’s because we refuse to travel through grief in order to make room for the future we want. Grief is a natural and needed flow of pain and preservation that our bodies travel through so that we can honor what was, release what is no longer, and make room for what is to come.This month, we’re talking about being a black girl in bloom, and grief is a pivotal part in our process to change: Making room for those of us living a life we did not plan for or wantUnderstanding the power of allowing grief in all of its formsVisioning the steps we can take to allow grief to flow through usThe opening that grief can create for something new and something worth making space forStay tuned for all four episodes this month as we create a blueprint for your season in bloom 🤎Enjoyed the episode?
