Nicole shares her profound understanding of the unseen forces that can undermine power, silence voices, and perpetuate cycles of trauma. Gain invaluable insights into the crucial importance of prioritizing self-care, seeking holistic support, and recognizing the spiritual layers of historical wounds that continue to impact generations.
More than just a dialogue, this is an awakening. Lira and Nicole create a space for profound reflection, challenging listeners to confront uncomfortable truths and fostering a deeper empathy for the multifaceted realities of Black women. This is a vital listen for anyone seeking to understand the enduring power of history, the complexities of identity, and the often-unseen battles fought in the pursuit of healing and liberation.
