What if freedom isn't something we chase… but something we remember?

In this episode, host Crystle Johnson sits down with Najma Ahmed, creator of the Free Black Girl podcast, to explore what it really means to be free. From leaving her "dream job" to breaking generational patterns and embracing radically soft living, Najma shares her powerful story of transformation, healing, and reclaiming joy.

✨ Topics we explore:



What keeps Black women from living freely?


The lies we’re told (and tell ourselves) about freedom


Why “getting free” is a continual process, not a one-time event


Ancestral healing, somatic practices, and listening to the body


How Najma used her breakdown as a breakthrough into entrepreneurship
