Move Beyond the Block Podcast
by La'Keisha Gray-Sewell
This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a gathering place. A sacred table. A return to ourselves. Hosted by La’Keisha Gray-Sewell—writer, storyteller, liberator, and lifelong advocate for Black girls and the women they become. In each episode, we explore the emotional, cultural, spiritual, and historical blocks that shape our lives—and the practices, stories, and ancestral wisdom that help us rise beyond them. Here, we honor truth-telling. We center wellness. We uplift Black herstory. And we speak life into the brilliance of Black women everywhere. For those searching for conversations that nourish, challenge, and transform… this is the right place. Take a breath… settle in… and move beyond the block—together.
