Help My Grow My Website

The goal of my website is to increase self-awareness through dialogue, both my own self-awareness and those of my readers. I use this website to explore my internal universe and share stories from people I meet around the country.

Recently, I have become increasingly involved in the struggle for Black Liberation and have begun writing about what it's like to be Black in America. I want to continue to write about Black Liberation and uplift the voices of other organizers in the struggle. Specifically I want to highlight the leadership of Black Women in this movement, not only because they are all too often erased from history but because I believe we could all learn a lot from hearing the true stories of how this movement is moving forward.

Narratives are powerful. They help us make sense of the world, influence our actions and spur us on to change our reality. When our narratives are written for us they can chain us to half -lives and limit our human potential. Too often the narratives of Black people are written and owned by someone else. Too often the narratives of Black women are erased and we are left without their wisdom, their guidance and their brilliant and beautiful humanity.

I would like to continue my podcast with a series of interviews of Black women, yet my laptop can't process the software I use to make podcast anymore.

So now I need your help! If you enjoy my work, please consider chipping in a few dollars to help me get a new laptop, maybe some new sound equipment and website redesign so that I help increase the dialogue about the things we find too painful to discuss but are too destructive to hold in. Even if you can’t afford to chip in now please send this link out to your contacts and asks your friends to contribute.
