At a time when mothers are actively unlearning generations of harmful practices\, this book offers a vision of what they can pass down instead: a legacy of people born free in spirit\, in hope\, in joy. \nDon’t miss this conversation — we’ll tackle burnout in Black women\, racial justice\, healing work\, the role of self-possession in that journey\, and more!
