Customer Reviews
Honest and authentic
I found the episode about friendship and what true friendship looks like for your black friends when you’re a white person really honest, authentic, and helpful. I really appreciate Monique’s vulnerability and not shying away from these topics.
Good for your mind body and soul
This podcast is beautiful, informative, and healing. Monique provides tools and vocabulary for her listeners to do both internal and external work to pursue Black liberation. Monique expresses such a deep care for humanity and you will deepen your connection with your own humanity by listening. I cannot recommend this podcast enough to anyone looking to begin, or continue, their anti-racist journey and journey to build healthy relationships.
Thoughtful
Monique and the guests she has on have such honest and full conversations. The questions Monique asks inspire reflection and a desire to be more curious. Monique embodies what she teaches. It's truly a joy to listen. I love the stories and lessons learned episodes and hearing about Monique's move too.
