Before you skip over the episode because of the title- please pause.     If after reading this you think- well I'm not a Black woman so this episode is not for me- that is incorrect.  This episode is for you too because remember not everything has to be centered on one's own identity to get value from learning about others.     A part of what makes us justice informed people is that we are on a path of unlearning and we seek out information and insights from others that are different from us.  We are on this journey together. ____________   This episodes goes live on Monday, January 18th which is a holiday here in the US, where we recognize the life, legacy, and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr who was born on January 15th 1929.We recognize the day of his birth, not the date of his death.     As I was preparing for this episode I knew I wanted to talk about why Black women matter and how to make sure self-care remains a priority for Black women no matter what is happening around us.      This is a behind the scenes type of episode where I am speaking directly from the heart so there is minimal editing- just me, the mic, and what you hear is what you get!    Thank you for listening to The OutSpoken Girlfriend podcast. I do not take your time for granted!   Naomi ____________________________________________________________________________   Contact  Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theoutspokengirlfriend\/  (@theoutspokengirlfriend) My Website: www.naomiscottclark.com Email Me:  hello@naomiscottclark.com   More Money, More Power A few times a month I send out an email titled More Money, More Power to friends of the podcast.  To sign up CLICK HERE   Episode References Episode 43 Cultivating Power And Living With Unapologetic Joy Episode 45 The Power Of Ish: How To Flourish, Lavish, And Relish Your Life Episode 68 Behind The Scenes: From Discomfort To Courage   JourneyGurl Magic Productions- The OutSpoken Girlfriend podcast is edited by JourneyGurl Magic Productions.
