    Let it Go Bag Lady!

    Let it Go Bag Lady!

    Hey Fam.

    In this episode, we are breaking down one of Delores’s favorite songs “Bag Lady” by Erykah Badu. This episode features our godsister Brittany as a guest.

    We discuss what is in our baggage, where they came from, and why we are still holding on to them. 

    As we break down each bag think about the bag you may carry every day that might be wearing you down. Also, try to identify what type of bag lady/ man you might be, ie. the one who drops bags off everywhere you go, a bag hoarder, or a light packer.

    What type of bags are you carrying? Are you a grocery bag lady? Gucci bag lady? Are you carrying around a doum as your bag? LOL.

This show is nostalgic for me. It makes me think back on my own childhood enabling me to find humor and healing in it. #growingupkrenglish
