This week Amber and Erika have a personal and heartfelt conversation about how we as Black people have to navigate our relationships with each other against the backdrop of a system that actively conspires to break us down. While we are all in this struggle to varying degrees, some of us are more broken than others – by generational trauma, financial insecurity, mental illness, and all the ish that we confront. How do we do our own work while holding space for our siblings who are more broken? How do we offer support while acknowledging the role of choices and personal responsibility? In what ways can we show up for those who are resistant to help? Although we don’t have all the answers, come have this discussion with us as we love and support each other in healing and liberation.
