Path to Purpose

We are living through 2 pandemics - COVID & Racism. One has been around longer & is far more deadly. For my Black people remember is is okay to not be okay, to rest, to be angry, to laugh, to cry, to be! Take care of yourself and do what you have to. You are loved & important!!! 

If you have just recognized the injustices that are faced by Black... please continue to educate yourself about what we have been experiencing for years. Please know a lot of us are tired of your white tears. Change your behaviors! That is what we want to see.

The Joi of Social Work Podcast Live Show is happening on Thursday, June 11 at 8pm EST. Register at joisw.eventbrite.com.

Sounds of Blackness VI: No More White Tears

The title of this episode says it all! 2020 has been filled with so much death! From COVID to the numerous killings of Black people to the loss of Black pillars such as John Lewis, Kobe & Chadwick; this year has been rough! There might be an increase in anxiety surrounding death due to all that is going on. How are you coping? Who are you leaning on? Are you doing life alone? If you feel like you are overwhelmed & need additional support please reach out. Even if Joi cannot directly support you, she might be able to point you in a direction.

I Don't Want to Die

What does being "strong" mean to you? Are you considered the "strong friend"? Well Joi is TI-RED of being "strong" and always on. 2020 has been a blessing & also draining. Make sure you are checking in with yourself, setting & sticking by your boundaries. 

On Thursday Joi will be volunteering with My Finest Self LLC (IG: @my_finest_self_llc) for "Feeding the Community Harvest Fest". If you would like to make a donation you can send by CashApp to $myfinestselfllc.

Not The Strong Friend

In this podcast I share life lessons learned in my natural hair journey that helped me grow from within.  My last relaxer was in 2007 and the emotional process felt more challenging than growing out my chemically treated hair. 

I invite you to vibe with me as I share and teach nuggets that can support you in embracing your unique beauty and building confidence in your natural hair journey. 

By profession I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and work as a psychotherapist in Atlanta, GA . Stay connected: www.linktr.ee/msguity
