    Getting Free As Liberation ft. Najmah Ahmad

    What if freedom isn't something we chase… but something we remember?In this episode, host Crystle Johnson sits down with Najma Ahmed, creator of the Free Black Girl podcast, to explore what it really means to be free. From leaving her "dream job" to breaking generational patterns and embracing radically soft living, Najma shares her powerful story of transformation, healing, and reclaiming joy.✨ Topics we explore: - What keeps Black women from living freely? - The lies we’re told (and tell ourselves) about freedom - Why “getting free” is a continual process, not a one-time event - Ancestral healing, somatic practices, and listening to the body - How Najma used her breakdown as a breakthrough into entrepreneurship 🖤 A powerful reminder:You’re not here to die for the dream. You’re here to live fully in it.🔗 Follow Najmah Ahmad Instagram: @freed_blackgirl Youtube:  @FreedBlackGirlPodcast  Website: www.freedblackgirl.com Freed Black Girl Study: https://forms.gle/AWi52CgTH5nN6qhw6 Unbossed Academy Crowdfunding Page: https://www.ifundwomen.com/projects/unbought-unbossed-academy-entrepreneur-incubator About We Ain't Dying For This: We are a community of Black women committed to our collective liberation through radically soft living.

    Self Love As Liberation ft. Drechir Whitfield

    In this soul-nourishing episode, host Crystle Johnson sits down with DreChir Whitfield — aka The Wedding Realtor — to revisit one of the most essential topics for Black women on the liberation journey: Self-Love. And yes, we’re running it back… because you can never have too much of it.💬 Through candid storytelling and deep reflection, Dre and Crystle explore the lies we believe about self-love, the truth about self-compassion, and how Black women can give themselves the grace they’ve always deserved.🎧 Whether you're knee-deep in the healing journey or just beginning to ask what it means to choose yourself, this episode is your invitation to soften, listen, and come home to YOU.🔗 Follow DreChir WhitfieldInstagram: @ProfoundCeremoniesLas Vegas: @DreChirInVegas____About We Ain't Dying For This: We are a community of Black women committed to our collective liberation through radically soft living.

    Wealth As Liberation ft. Jasmine Smalls

    "In this economy?!"You probably giggled a little reading that because it's real and you've probably heard it a lot lately. During this season, we've talked a lot about legacy and how it isn't just about assets you can touch and feel.I would venture to say that while wealth is similar, we still want our money.I'm so excited to sit down with Jasmine Smalls to talk about Wealth As Liberation. You don't want to miss what she has to say about how being rooted in our inherent worth, contributes to our wealth.Stay Connected with Jasmine Smalls:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasmine-smallsSee What She’s Building: https://www.jasminesmalls.com/Join Jasmine's No Spend Challenge: https://jsc.guidedlxp.com ____About We Ain't Dying For This: We are a community of Black women committed to our collective liberation through radically soft living.

    Wandering As Liberation ft. Natasha D. Wade

    What if your birthday wasn’t just a celebration—but a call to go?This week on We Ain’t Dying For This, we’re talking about Wandering as Liberation with my good Sis, Natasha Wade. And babyyyy, it’s not just a cute little travel story. Sis packed up her car and hit the road—solo. No set plan, just a deep need to feel free. She wandered to places where Black stories live, where liberation was fought for, where healing could meet her.And somewhere along the highways and history, she met herself again.And you know what?She didn’t need permission from anyone but herself.This week's episode is a mirror for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, stifled, or like freedom is on the other side of a map they haven’t drawn yet.Stay Connected with Natasha D.

    Creativity As Liberation ft. Shellsy Malveaux

    If you’re anything like I used to be, you’ve probably disqualified yourself as a creative again and again. You believe that creativity looks a certain way–pretty, polished, and perfect. But guess what? Those aren’t the qualifiers of what being creative means. This week’s episode with Shellsy Malveaux is all about her journey of liberation through creativity.

    Dreams As Liberation ft. Kimberly Pack

    Sometimes rock bottom looks like the end. But often, it’s the beginning. When COVID hit, everything shifted, the businesses, the plans, the certainty of what life would look like. And when entrepreneurship suddenly wasn’t enough to stand on, what was left was shame, grief, and the quiet question: Who am I now? This week’s episode with Kimberly Pack is about sitting in that collapse, letting yourself feel the loss, and learning that being held in love can be the most radical form of survival.
