About this listen

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the journey of finding and reclaiming my voice, something that hasn't always felt safe or easy, especially as a Black woman. From navigating a childhood speech impediment to staying silent in professional spaces where speaking up came with consequences, I share the moments that shaped how I show up and speak today.

I talk about:

  • Why speaking up isn’t always a privilege Black and Brown women have
  • The cost of shrinking myself to survive in white-dominant spaces
  • A breaking point that pushed me to finally use my voice
  • Why silence often feels safer, but never leads to peace
  • The power of building spaces where we can be our full selves without apology

If you’ve ever struggled to use your voice, doubted your right to be heard, or felt the tension between staying quiet and standing in your truth, I hope this episode reminds you that your voice matters, tremble and all.

Thank you, growth, for helping me stop playing small.
