Black Out: I Said What I Said!!!
The Black Out crew is reclaiming our time (and our energy, effort, and focus)! Emotional labor is the draining practice of suppressing one's own feelings and exerting energy for the purpose of addressing other people's feelings, making other people comfortable, or living up to social expectations. That's gonna be a 'nah' for us. This week we're talking about ways to focus on our own emotional needs, set boundaries, and prioritize consent and reciprocity in our relationships and interactions. It all starts with self-love, self-worth, and acknowledging your own power.

Black Out is Back! -- Unbought & Unbossed!
Happy Black Futures Month y'all!!! After a whole year the Black Out is officially back and starting 2019 with some big questions. This week we sit with the fact that as Black womxn we are varied and complex with many different and intersecting identities, values, and ways of being. Inspired by the City Girls & Cardi B Twerk video, we're wondering if it's possible for Black womxn to experience liberation in all of our complexity? Calling in the spirits of abundance, solitude, gangsta, and desire, the Black Out is tryna figure out how to be our whole, full selves in these 2019 streets.

Customer Reviews
Refreshing and Inspiring!
Thank you, Dismantled crew for shining the light on such important issues facing our communities and our profession. You bring honesty, humor, and depth to complex conversations such as opression, cultural identity, trauma, well-being, and healing. You each bring such a unique and empowering perspective. By listening to your show, I feel enriched and empowered as a social work educator of color to keep doing the work that is so needed to create change. Thank you for this much-needed breath of fresh air!
My Intention
I had already set my official intention for 2017 as "Ask". As in ask for what I need and want. And you know why this isn't easy. However, I asked for more podcasts from women of color. Episode one is in keeping with another intention I have in 2017 but was afraid to acknowledge.
I listened to that episode and stepped into my truth. It's time to undo and dismantle what I have been taught. It's time to look more closely and claim who I am as a black woman in this world. Living in West Virginia I know it'll be a challenge but it's time. Thank you for the conversations in this podcast.

It's so refreshing to listen to these fierce women of color pour knowledge, deepen our connections and give grounded perspectives on what folks of color go through in the US.
