    We're Back! Still Empowering Women Across Generations

    We’re back and more energized than ever! It’s been a whirlwind of experiences, from electrifying stages at Essence Fest to powerful moments at the DNC. This episode of "Across Generations" is all about reflection and celebration. I open up about the importance of having spaces dedicated to Black women, where we can discuss everything from the fluidity of our sexual identities to our challenges with online dating, and even our place in the world of sports. And yes, witnessing a Black woman stepping into a position of leadership for our nation is a milestone we must acknowledge, even as we confront the harsher realities of global conflicts. Kamala Harris's recent debate performance left me in awe, and I couldn’t help but reflect on my personal experiences with her. Her ability to own a room is nothing short of inspiring, and it’s moments like these that remind us of the critical need for voter mobilization and awareness. I also share my thoughts on media consumption, stressing the importance of diverse news sources, like The New York Times, Al Jazeera, and The Root, while sounding a cautionary note on the often misleading world of social media. Finding the balance between staying informed and not falling into the trap of disinformation is a tightrope we all walk. Lastly, let's talk about the power of connection among Black women. We dive into how social media can be both a tool for spreading truth and a weapon for misinformation, especially against marginalized communities. It's imperative that platforms hire more native Spanish speakers to better address targeted disinformation. I also reflect on the profound sense of community I've felt at our annual retreats—a sanctuary for open dialogue and mutual support. A recent heartfelt encounter on a flight underscored just how deep our unspoken connections run. Join us behind the scenes of "Across Generations," brought to life by the incredible team at Will Packer Media and iHeart Podcast, as we continue this journey of storytelling and connection.

    Healing Journeys and Mental Wellness with LaTosha Brown and Les Alfred

    What does it mean to prioritize mental health as much as physical health? Join us as we unpack this critical conversation with Les Alfred, host of the Balanced Black Girl podcast, and LaTosha Brown, a political strategist and community activist. Together, we navigate the complexities of mental health struggles, drawing from our own experiences of show cancellations, financial turmoil, betrayals, and difficult romantic relationships. We explore the necessity of continuous mental health care, treating it with the same urgency and consistency as physical health. Listen as we share poignant stories of personal and familial mental health challenges, including the heartbreaking loss of a loved one to suicide. We discuss the importance of recognizing early signs of mental health issues and the value of therapy, while stressing the importance of personalized coping mechanisms—whether that’s finding joy in small activities, leaning on friends, or nurturing spiritual beliefs. Unique challenges faced by Black women in diagnosing and addressing their mental health are brought to light, advocating for a holistic approach that blends spiritual and practical support systems. Our conversation also touches on generational attitudes towards mental health and the societal dismissal of Black women's pain. Reflecting on the impact of the Black Power Movement and the contrasting values of subsequent generations, we critique the trendiness of therapy language and emphasize the importance of resilience. We challenge the notion of a 'soft life' and address how capitalism and the media often exploit Black pain. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of trauma, resilience, and the journey towards embracing both our joys and struggles, urging us to foster a culture of open and honest dialogue about mental health.
