Episode Synopsis

A Black Woman's Journey is a quarterly podcast in three parts: expert advice, how to turn advice into action, and tools for self-care. In each episode we seek to share what we wished we had known years ago that can help lead Black women to better professional and health outcomes. Hosted by a rotating group of women, this is where we stop self-editing our authentic selves. It is a selfless and a selfish space where we share what we know with a focus only on us. 
Perform or Perish
In the first episode of the podcast we explore the pressure to perform and conform to a myopic script that society has allowed Black women to exist in. We share life stories, how we've played to the script and veered completely off script. How it all matters (to us individually) and how none of it matters (to dominant, patriarchal society).  Life, love, health and trauma are touched upon within the context of Say Her Name.
Then we close out the discussion with wellness tips and tools in the form of coping mechanisms and a meditation.
