When the system fails, Black women build their own.
In this deeply moving guest episode, ‘Tine is joined by Naomi Reynolds, an Army veteran, author, and relentless advocate for women who’ve served. Naomi shares her story of surviving military sexual trauma, navigating life after service, and eventually finding her voice as a champion for other women veterans.
From fighting to get her VA benefits restored to creating HelpingVeteransThrive.com as a resource and refuge, Naomi’s journey is a masterclass in resilience. This episode explores mental health, family estrangement, and the reality of aging as a Black woman veteran who refuses to be silenced.
Whether you’ve served or not, Naomi’s story is a reminder that healing is possible, and purpose can be reclaimed at any stage of life.
