Perfectionism, White Supremacy & the Pressure on Black Women to Lead Everything | Siobhan Speaks Social (Live Replay)
Live from the back porch with a new setup—y’all like it? In this episode, I reflect on the toxic grip of perfectionism, its deep ties to white supremacy, and how those expectations show up in social justice spaces—especially on the backs of Black women.
I speak on:
My personal journey from ministry to movement work
The burden of being expected to lead every cause
How performative politics and empty slogans waste our energy
The need for real plans and shared responsibility
Why we must stop idolizing perfection in our leaders
