In this raw and powerful episode, author and advocate Tangela Williams Spann shares the emotional journey behind her books Sad, Black, and Fat and Brazen, Black, and Free. We explore how race, body image, and mental health intersect, and why being unapologetically seen is its own act of freedom.
Key highlights:
How unspoken stress and stigma impact mental wellness and self-worth
The power of storytelling and humor in healing out loud
Why representation and compassion matter—especially for Black girls and
women
