Welcome back to Season 2 of A Soulful Mom's Wisdom with Africa O!  I am so excited to get back into the groove of this wonderful theme for the month, which is personal growth. On this week's episode, we are going to delve into one of my role models and one of my favorite quotes ever. Join me as we explore the profound wisdom shared by the former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, in her book "Becoming" and the impact it has had on my journey of personal growth.

In a society that often encourages conformity and suppresses individuality, embracing the power of authenticity is a revolutionary act. Step into the fullness of who you are. Own your experiences. Share your truth without fear of judgment or rejection. We have to take ownership of our stories and embrace openness and vulnerability. Let's celebrate the power of authenticity and actively listen to others, creating a world where everyone's story matters!

Thank you for joining me on this journey of personal growth and exploration. Until next time!


Highlights

• Africa shares a pivotal point in her childhood that introduced her to the ugliness of colorism. 
• You’ll hear an quote from our “Forever First Lady”, Michelle Obama that is truly eye opening. 
• Africa encourages you to bring honesty into every conversation you have.

Lo and behold, Santa delivered this episode directly to your device while you were sleeping! What a sneaky and jolly good fellow.
Christmas itself has changed more than my opinions about it. As I get older, and now have a child of my own, my relationship to this holiday continues to change.

The big news is revealed. Plus, how do you pull yourself out of a creative funk? What have I been doing since my last recording? 
Just the act of freely expressing oneself, even if only to oneself, is extremely liberating. If you stick with it until the steam subsides, you just might get to the root of the issue.
