    Decolonizing the Coochie: From the Hottentot Venus to BBLs

    Send a text In this episode of Coochie Business®, Dr. Abigail sits down with Africana Studies professor Dr. Derrick “Dr. kNOw” Lanois for a layered conversation on womanism, Black history, reproductive narratives, and collective liberation. What is womanism — and how is it different from feminism or Black feminism? How have historical stereotypes like the “Hottentot Venus” and Jezebel myth shaped how Black women’s bodies are imagined today? And what might healing, Sankofa, and imagination have to do with reproductive freedom? Together, they explore: Womanism as a Black women–rooted social change frameworkBlack nationalism, Pan-Africanism, and communal responsibilityThe historical construction of Black sexuality and reproductive stereotypesColorism and respectability politicsThe power of history in shaping liberationBlack love, heterosexuality as learned behavior, and redefining relationshipsAfrofuturism and the role of imagination in building new traditionsThis episode moves beyond statistics and policy into philosophy, history, and embodiment — asking not only how we dismantle systems, but how we build commonweal. If you’re interested in Black reproductive justice, womanist thought, Black history, embodiment, and decolonizing love, this conversation will stretch you.

    Beauty for Ashes: Miscarriage, Infant Loss & the Myth of Bouncing Back (w/ Natalie Demerson-Watkins)

    Send a text In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Dr. Abigail sits down with transformational leader Natalie Demerson-Watkins, founder of Anchored Life Academy and Anchored Life Foundation, to explore the emotional and spiritual impact of miscarriage and infant loss — especially for high-achieving women who feel pressure to “bounce back.” Natalie shares her living testimony of recurring miscarriage, the premature birth and loss of her daughter Rozlyn at 26 weeks, and the four-year journey of shattered faith, surrender, and rebuilding that followed. Together, they discuss: • The silent grief high-achieving women carry  • The myth of bouncing back after reproductive loss  • Shame, guilt, and questioning your body  • Faith after loss — when belief feels broken  • Showing up professionally while privately grieving  • How to support someone experiencing miscarriage  • The difference between grief support and coaching readiness  • Natalie’s 3-part healing process: Shattering, Rebuilding, Reconciliation This episode expands the conversation beyond physical pregnancy loss to include unspoken reproductive grief — miscarriage, infant loss, infertility, IVF attempts, pregnancy yearning, and identity disruption. If you’ve ever felt strong in public but shattered in private, this conversation is for you. You are not broken. You are becoming.

He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the LORD’s favor has come, and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory.World Health Organization (WHO) Spotlight on Pregnancy Losshttps://www.who.int/news-room/spotlight/why-we-need-to-talk-about-losing-a-baby Send questions to questions@coochiebusiness.com Send stories to stories@coochiebusiness.com Other inquiries: info@coochiebusiness.com Executive Health Coaching with Dr. Abigail: https://omolayobookings.intakeq.com/booking Dr. Abigail on Substack: https://thecoochiecollective.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for personal medical care.
