AUGUST 2024 Wellness Resources
We all have varied levels of comfort speaking up. For some of us, it requires a serious pep talk to psych ourselves up to be comfortable sharing what’s really on our minds. For others, it’s second nature and often the easier alternative to keeping our thoughts to ourselves. Many of us likely fall somewhere between these two extremes, and no matter what our general comfort level is, different contexts and situations can impact how prone we are to speak up in any given moment.
Considering the powerful impact that speaking up can have on those around us can be a source of inspiration and courage. Like BlackFemaleProject’s Director of Programs, Dr. E’rika Chambers, says, making our voices heard is actually vital. It paves the way and opens space for others to find their own voices and express themselves.
This month, tune into Dr. Chambers’s conversation with Precious Stroud from our season 1 podcast and our other August wellness resources, all focused on finding the courage and the contexts that encourage you to say what’s on your heart and mind.
