Black Girls Are From The Future Podcast: Episode 2

I saw a post on threads earlier this morning and I had a visceral reaction to it. The post asked "What do you do when your friend ghosts you?" I responded "I am assume she is depressed, dying or both." Then I had to take a moment and step back because I have not always been on this kind of time. In fact, making this assumption is new for me.

In this podcast I discusses:
•The importance of Black Women's Friendships
•How I evolved to give Black women the benefit of the doubt
•How Ms. Toni Morrison's Sula is responsible for helping me to see the importance of Black women's friendships.

I even included two commercials for my wellness journal line in the podcast! I have journals about grief, joy, self care, self love, and how to thrive with a dry phone. They are all 19.99. Thank you for supporting me. Enjoy the pod.
