When You are the First or the only Black Woman–Joyce’s Story

“I’m enough now, yesterday, and forever.”--Joyce WashingtonIf you’ve ever been the first woman, the only Black, or person of color and advocated for more inclusion, have you wondered how you could open the door for others?Well, Racial Justice and Community Advocate Joyce Washington has broken down barriers and made sure that though she was the first in her Fortune 100 company, she was not the last.  Embodying the principles of a Mother Tree, Joyce actively recruited, mentored, and protected women of all colors, Black men and others who were excluded by business as usual practices.In this episode she breaks down her strategy for engaging power structures, her mindset regarding difference, and her practices for staying in the body.  Listen as Joyce shares her inspiring story which begins in rural segregated Tennessee where she and her sister “integrated” a southern white high school in the 1960s. Joyce is one of those people who always leaves you feeling like you can do anything after you talk with her.And she does it with LOVE.This Mother Tree Network  helps exhausted and grieving social justice mystics, teachers and healers to rest and discover their sustainable sacred work so that they can stop trying to do everything and instead hold the love vibration.Exhausted, overwhelmed, grieving for our planet?Go to the link below to:Sign up for 1:1 Strategy Session with Aminata Sol Plant Walker Fire Woman.Check out the FREE  Do Less; Do Differently; and Heal our World Meditation Challenge Here.Support us on Patreon.  Help us get to 20 patrons by Oct. 31.Make a one-time contribution at https://dramandakem.samcart.com/products/contributions-for-podcast/“I’m enough now, yesterday, and forever.”--Joyce WashingtonSupport the showMother tree Network Podcast--Where  Earth Wisdom Meets Racial Justice and Women's Leadership.
