Join Ann-Marie in this raw and healing episode of About This Life, where she sits down with Mika Newton of Zenmi Sound and poet-author Trisheena Bolakale from The Perfect Flowers Network. In this powerful roundtable born from the Dear Black Woman anthology project, three women share deeply personal stories about trauma, shame, self-sabotage, generational healing, and the rediscovery of their inner voice.

They speak candidly about: • Letting go of the "Superwoman" myth • Writing letters to their younger selves • Confronting abuse, family pain, and imposter syndrome • Reclaiming joy, identity, and personal power • Healing out loud to inspire others on similar journeys This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a movement of truth, empowerment, and transformation. Watch and be inspired to call a thing a thing, drop the cape, and embrace your authentic self. 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on healing, growth, and finding your voice. #DearBlackWoman #HealingOutLoud #BlackWomenVoices #ZenmiSound #ThePerfectFlowersNetwork #SelfLoveJourney #InnerChildHealing #EmpowermentTalks #TraumaRecovery #GenerationalHealing #AboutThisLifePodcast #MikaNewton #TrisheenaBolakale #BlackWomenWriters #ReclaimYourPower #BecomingEnough #AboutThisLifePodcast
