...on self reflection and intentionality: A conversation with my Mother

Black Woman Working...

The June full episode is posted for @blackwomanwork... Each episode of Black Woman Working is inspired by an experience shared by or shared with Sheri Nicole. The June Episode, Black Woman Working... on self reflection, exploration with intentionality. This episode focused on intentionality…..intentionality with self, with family members through a simple list of 10 questions. These 10 questions will spark 10-20 more, but it is a great starting point for all to initiate engagement and transparency with loved ones. Joining me on the episode is my mommy, Linda Shaw. Of course this is nothing new for us as we talk daily, but I wanted to share the stories my mom shared around growing up and living in Ripley, Tennessee, as it provided context around their perspectives of the current Black Lives Matter movement to me as well as an understanding around how as much as things may change, things still have a way of staying the same generations later. But we also talked about childhood experiences and a defining moment in their story that they will never forget. I hope you enjoy and may it challenge you to take the 10 question challenge with your parents, guardians, elders and loved ones.
