Who lights the way for us? (90s storytime on: culture, race, identity + being yourself) 💫// Ep 81

In today's podcast I’m taking you to the beach for some reflections 🌊 ✨Honouring bell hooks 🕯✨ ✨Honouring those who light the way for us and who help us remember who we are.✨ I’m getting into a personal storytime, when is it not personal my friends, life is personal, everything is personal but also universal cause this is a conversation and a reminder that I always love and appreciate hearing from you, whether through your messages on socials, your emails, and your reviews of this podcast. I’m so grateful and may we dance! 💞 *So yes, mega storytime with lots of 90s moments darling!* 🌈 On: culture, race, identity, neurodivergency, being yourself and staying close to who you are and how it can be hard to do that when the world wants and expects you to be another way / something else. 🦄 🐘Who helps us remember? Discover? Stay curious? Hold space for ourselves? Reassures us? Nourishes us? Holds us? Feeds us? Helps us grow? Asks us questions that help us to do that for ourselves and others? 💫 🐚Recorded on 17 December, this episode was an impromptu "massive tangent" on a moment-in-life (Musiq) With curiosity and sorrow and joy and love and appreciation. 🌺 I’ll be retracting my steps through the Caribbean and schooling and navigating worlds that have impacted my life And in that, of course, my story of how bell came into my world. Forever grateful. And although the loss and grief is felt and sad, there is a lot of joy and wonder and inspiration to soak in. So I hope this episode helps you wander into your world and holds space for your remembering too. 📝There will be some prompts for you later in this episode as it’s always a conversation, so feel welcome to explore them on the spot or if you like to journal, have a pen and paper handy for your own reflections!
