Coming out later in life can feel like finding parts of yourself that have been hidden in plain sight. In this episode, we explore the lack of affirming visibility for Queer Black Women especially and its impact on our identity development. Also how our minds and bodies-through somatic responses —keep us safe by not allowing us to see ourselves, even subconsciously. Because belonging is a human need for survival. It's a journey of unlearning, self-acceptance, and finally embracing who we've always been.
One of the biggest things that l've become more deeply aware of since coming out is just how much patriarchy is hurting all of us, especially when it comes to living the fullest expression of authentic ourselves. Most people are extremely repressed when it comes to relationships and sexuality because we are all trying to fit into the same mold, and the very real dangers associated with realizing you are your own blueprint & stepping outside of what is deemed the norm.
