29. Black Women Woes Part I
Today's episode was birthed from an idea that I had several months ago. So Cha, Lettie, Marcie, and Patricia all said yes to speaking about the power of being a Black woman and some of what we deal with on a regular basis. I wanted to utilize the month of August to talk to feature all of us together. This episode is more than I could have dreamed. They represent healing, love, courage, authenticity, and truth. Listening to the convo made me proud to be in community with them and this wasn't just a podcast recording--- it was Black Woman power being exemplified. Here are just a few of the questions that I asked them:
1. What will you no longer return to?
2. What will you no longer accept from others?
3. How are you honoring your Blackness from the perspective of self-care?
4. How is pleasure incorporated into your lives? What give you pleasure?
5. What have you learned about love?
27. Post-Abortion Forgiveness and Healing with Patricia Taylor
"The more I began to really explore who God is apart from people who profess the name of God, then I started to know more about my own worth and my own value in God's eyes and the love that Jesus has for me regardless of what I've done." - Patricia Taylor
In this episode, Patricia Taylor shares her experience having an abortion at the age of 19 years old. Patricia reflects on the pain and trauma experienced after the procedure and what ultimately led to her desire to share her story with others.
