In this episode I'm in the "studio" with my friend and guest Yolanda Williams, founder of Parenting Decolonized. We get real about a range of topics for Black women, including divesting from capitalism, redefining success, and embracing simpler, community-oriented lifestyles. Yolanda also shares her journey from California to Central Arkansas, detailing her experiences with homesteading, land ownership, and growing her own food.
This conversation will hopefully help cement the importance of community support, trust, and redefining wealth beyond monetary terms. Black women deserve to reclaim their time, seek ease, and build sustainable, supportive communities so we highlight some practical steps to start living a more intentional life, including gardening, supporting local farmers, and practicing mutual aid.
We both want you to live a life of abundance, rest, and joy outside the confines of traditional capitalist structures so press "play" and let's go!
