The Freed Black Girl Podcast

The Freed Black Girl Podcast is a transformative platform dedicated to empowering Black women, and anyone else on their healing journey, as well as those with the desire to heal and not knowing where to begin. The host pulls back the veil on her own ongoing process of self-liberation through the power of storytelling, expert insights, and vulnerable conversations. From unpacking the decades long effects of childhood & generational trauma, quitting her job in 2021 following a successful career blighted with racial trauma in the workplace, starting her own six figure consulting & coaching business, reclaiming her physical health, to finally realizing her queer identity and coming out at age 37; each episode explores themes of resilience, ancestral wisdom, spirituality, identity, and liberation. Delving into somatic healing practices and inner child work, this podcast offers practical tools to guide listeners toward choosing a new life. It’s a safe space where listeners can feel seen, heard, and validated in their experiences, knowing they are not alone on their journey. Join us as we navigate the path to self-discovery, liberation, and inner peace, one empowering story at a time. Welcome to the Freed Black Girl Podcast, where healing begins, and joy is found in returning home to ourselves.

What does it mean to truly remember our teachers? On this special bonus episode and season 2 preview, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his evolving vision for freedom, community, and justice as we reflect on his powerful 1967 speech, “Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?” Through excerpts from his words, we delve into the radical clarity he held in his final years and explore what his lessons mean for us today.

They would be able to come up with 3 out of 4, but the fir...

Discussing My early lessons on the power of people, collective liberation, and our upcoming election.

As a kid, I heard stories about my maternal grandmother hosting friends like Dick Gregory and other civil rights leaders in her home when they were in town. Or about how my mother was involved in the Black Panther Party when she was a teen/ young adult in the 60s & 70s. I remember growing up with a poster of Malcom X on the wal...

This episode is about embodying the change we seek. Are we ready to receive our dreams or are we asking for things we haven’t demonstrated the capacity to hold? Are you feeling like leaving your old way of living behind and starting out in a new direction? Maybe something you've never seen personally before up close?

We are in a loneliness epidemic. Connections are surface level or non-existent, and in the solitude we often disregard the power of being in community with nature as well.

I'm grateful for @highvibebyonose and @we_bewalkin for the communities they've created here in Washington, DC and expanding. I am even more grateful for the people they are, healers by training & nature, who saw a need along their own healing journey and how ...
