Afrikan Womxn’s Consciousness in The Changing World Nourah Yonous
-
- Society & Culture
Based on my own inner-work: my soul liberation—unlearning and experiences as a colonial product/immigrant; an Afrikan Womxn who come from Womxn before me; I wrote a book, Un-Learning Patriarchal Bondage: The World Through The Lens Of An Afrikan Womxn, to be launched Winter 2021. It is through this evolving-process I found my own grounding and felt the need to dig deeper/connect my healing process with my greater-global community at large, on the importance of QUESTIONING and raising the VOICE of Afrikan Womxn. This podcast will explore Afrikan Woman’s voice and agency in “post-colonial world.”

Why I’m NOT a Womxn Of Color: Lets Normalize Afrikan Womxn Reclaiming Narrative and Agency.
“Afrikan Womxn’s Consciousness in the Changing World: #DecolonizePraxis; further challenge and question racial construct via Person of Color- (system based shaped) narrative. Being a Womxn in the patriarchal world has been terribly exhausting in the last 33yrs; but being a Womxn of color in America? Emotionally taxing and close to crippling, if you don’t self-assess: 🦋🦋🦋🦋#UnlearningPatriarchalBondage 📚. In this episode, I speak from soul evolving-journey that also calls for authentic solidarity among human “race..”, the constructed races struggling in careful/ drawn geo political border- boundaries and national-flag worshiping? But deep down- we are collectively searching for meaning and #Oneness? There’s Power in the #Love and Solidarity NOT shaped by religion, sexuality, race, gender, and all the shallow boxes we were forced to fit in—and navigate the world? How are we suppose to fully belong with #MotherEarth—with our majestic selves and bold existence wrapped in fear of the constructed “other”? I resist by saying I’m NOT Anyone’s Womxn Of Color. I’m That which Sees Light in All of Us-I am that which reflects my inner: Womxn of Color is NOT It for me—-because WOC box limits who I am, can be, in relation to all of us. This episode is also part of @AfricanWomenBusinessAlliance #SisterhoodandEconomy many series to be launched on my upcoming professional YouTube! Finally! 🦋🧘🏾♀️🙏🏾 #holisticapproachtobusinessdevelopment - #buildinginclusivecultureforinclusiveeconomy #afrikanwombeconomy🤱🏾 #womeninbusiness “

You Can Either Walk off the Cliff and Fall, or You Can Walk off the cliff and Levitate.
Gratitude and frustrations as I work on pivoting our model at African Womxn Business Alliance. On this episode, Im briefly sharing our raw tested-journey towards our fight on Holistic Approach to Business Development , Building Inclusive Culture for Inclusive Economy and Gender Equity in Business Development. While It’s been difficult navigating this work under structural-systemic inequities, AWBA’s strength and resilience continues to surprise me. I share 5 tips on better understanding and supporting Afrikan/Black Womxn Owned Businesses and Agency during this time. Beyond a hashtag, beyond buying from her. Gratitude 🙏🏾

She Must Be a Lesbian or Crazy! Yes, for her to call out patriarchy and racial injustice.
In Gratitude to lessons learned but worth to mention we mustn’t be lesbians or crazy, for that matter, to stand in our truths and demand better for ourselves, our child/ren and planet earth. Namaste 🙏🏾

Excuses Are Often Valid But We Must Show Up For Our Purpose and Not Excuses
Life taught me Great Lessons and I’m Grateful I never allowed obstacles to run the compass of my journey with excuses. The older I get—the more I become intolerant of excuses and societal limited beliefs. Why #ImNotYourWomxnOfColor #AfrikanWomxnConsciousness
