Journal Entry - When Shadows Speak

In this raw and reflective episode of Soul Tribe Search Party, I touch on some real-life truths that we can’t keep ignoring.

🕯️ First, I share my thoughts after watching the Gabby Petito documentary—a heartbreaking story that stirred up so much about how we, as a society, often miss the signs of domestic violence. I want to be clear: I do not condone or support abuse—mentally, emotionally, or physically. If you or someone you know is in a harmful situation, please use every resource available to get out safely.

💔 I speak from a place of experience, compassion, and urgency. These aren’t just stories—they’re real lives, real people, and real pain.

Then, we shift into something that’s deeply tied to our collective healing:
📲 I share a TikTok clip that sparked a powerful convo on colorism within the Black community. It’s time we unlearn the division between light-skin and dark-skin narratives and start seeing each other as reflections—not rivals.

✨ Key Takeaways from this Episode:
✅ Domestic disputes are not private when lives are at risk
✅ Colorism is real and rooted in trauma—healing starts with awareness
✅ Unity within the Black community begins by confronting the internalized biases we hold
✅ It’s okay to unlearn. It’s powerful to heal.
