This conversation was extremely refreshing. So good to see black women share so openly & with such eloquence, transparency, & vulnerability. We’re sharing this video with our online community of black women & girls who are committed to helping each other THRIVE. It’s wellness season. Much love ❤

A lot of factors tying into our grief, slavery, oppression, our men leaving, in jail, dead, or gay which leaves no men left .. all these things work against us !

This is a wonderful conversation. Appreciate the nuance so much. I’m so ready to be soft emotional and mediocre black woman. Just being is everything. 🙏🏾 Yes reclaiming the word laziness

What a POWERFUL conversation. Thank you. My gosh, thank you!

Dr. Williams, on behalf of ALL of us-thank you for being so vulnerable and for sharing your truth. We all felt you, admire you, and love you. You cracked this conversation wide open-and the way each sista acknowledged and lifted you was such a beautiful thing to witness. Thank you all so very much.

This conversation is a jewel. These relatable, soft, black women just gave me my whole entire life. Thank you, ladies. Thank you for having this very important conversation.

The Dr. Looks like the beautiful Roberta Flack. And all of her honesty I feel to the core.

Excellent and necessary conversation! I hope this gets more views.

This was soooo good! Thank you

Great conversation ladies!! I cant be soft and emotional because I'm too busy surviving. I don't trust because no one has given me a reason to trust them. I suffered from depression for years in private. Even now if I'm not careful and don't pay attention to the signs it tries to sneak up on me. Thank you for this conversation.

I love this This was so powerful!!! I no needed this in so many ways

I absolutely love this conversation

POWERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, of UPMOST IMPORTANCE.

This…was amazing. Thank you so much for this conversation. …this really helped lighten up a dark space. You are all so very much appreciated.

I absolutely LOVED this discussion 🤩🥰😍

How beautiful is this. I have so much on my heart for this conversation. When someone decides to transition to womanhood, they're gonna realize it gets HARDER in EVERY way. Being biologically a black woman feels like the hardest thing to embody. There is no instruction manual for how to deal with the world and the society you are a product of. "I'm tired." I really felt that. Sometimes getting out of bed takes every bit of strength I pray for. When the woman mentioned the death of her husband, felt that too. Though you cant control that, it happens often. And you are never ready for it 🤧 Don't get me started on luxury. We want that not out of greed, but out of wanting rest. Spiritually and physically.

Very powerful! Thank you

Wow. A very powerful conversation! Very much appreciated 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Thank you ladies for having this conversation!

This conversation was amazing! So needed!!!! Love to all black women ❤️

This is amazing!

Beautiful conversation 💕

Thank You For This!!!

Beautiful!!!!❤❤❤

A year late, but so glad i scrolled upon this❤

I loved this conversation. Really could relate to Mom of the toddler. Keep having these conversations❤

Needed to hear this. I'm always tired. My body has forced me to step out of the wheel. If I don't fight the societal pressure to be "on 24/7," I'm not gonna be on long. I still feel massive guilt when I rest, and it's going to take a lot of prayer and CBT to undo that. I have folx who take care of me a bit. Trying to learn to receive and just be has been a 5 year and ongoing process.

I would love to experience this

Amazing panel of women!

Man...❤❤

What the Dr said is so deep. The trauma 💔 that blk women go through the oppression of and by other black women in work and in personal life all of them fled In the end.

❤❤

Why is there a man on a women's panel?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

To have someone who clearly is not a woman be part of this conversation is very condescending.

I have a friend suffering from NPD) narcissistic personality disorder) I ended the friendship with her because of the and circular conversations that was going she's very envious jealous childlike she marry your she take actual events and twist them to her reality... Which is mind blowing in itself I am 50 years old I have never came across this personality type before in my life I have not lost a relationship with a female do to toxicity in my lifetime. You ladies are absolutely gorgeous

A educated woman who's comfortable in her own flesh can't be disrespect by any real men that exist a womb

And gentlemen

How can I be a part of this program. I need help!

Not black women thought she was gonna take their husbands. I....idk bout that but this was such a beautiful and loving panel

These women are awesome I can relate to these as a black woman myself. I am black women with both ADHD and Autism, I been diagnosed as being mentally challenged aka retarded Growing up I was mislable some people still lable me as being mentally challenged/ retarded.

Happy we're refusing to accept that title now.

Divide and conqure- The making of a slave book by Willie Lynch.

These are one of the most beautiful bw I've ever seen.

I had A girlfriend with five children lupos cancer Lucas metropolitan housing authority wouldn't let her oldest( it is A system of abuse) son move in with her as A car taker. I ran into her my good cousin friend GB at A meeting at Lmha when she left out I started crying. I had to see Mrs Reese administration so I could get my house. Talked too her about my lighter complexion cuban cousin. Did my interview and came out here too get my keys too my 🏠👐🏼🙌🏼🤲🙏. But I remember running too her aide so many times.

In zepf hope and recovery health center they have stereotypes we like our hair done you should get another case manager too buy hair. They don't like how black women can do more with their hair. So I was labeled as passive assertive only when necessary. They will call our children lazy the more color too the skin and the more texture too the hair although I'm Cuban Saudi Arabian Spanish Portugal Canary islands my texture of my hair and Carmel skin will label me black not Caribbean. It is just like my Bahama, Haitian, Jamaican friend's are labeled Afrikkan American instead of Caribbean. The struggle is real this is for women and men.

So are trans women the new “Skrong” black woman…i mean I feel like that adds up way more 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️

Is the “woman” in black a Man?

Someone here is not a woman.

I'd like it if black women had enough self-confidence real self confidence the type where you give up on God's laws and morality and given to the one of many of Satan's lies strong black woman is a lie strong black woman don't wear weave and cumbrellas /eyelashes makeup etc. A attractive black natural woman that finds her look and confident in it. Also None aggressive non-combative lady like and soft spoken. Would take two tame and keep a black man. Only if our women would understand this men would trust them enough to give them the world. Don't want to help build up black men. They bought into the lie that they want bad boy's and when they decided to believe that they created a bunch of bad boys. Our young men and women the children gangsters the rap culture is feeding us our narrative. We used to have a family structure GOD Father Mother Children. Satan play games with us with our minds and our emotions he turned everything upside down. Along with these satanists. We are living in his lie the world. We need to retreat take back our morality give them back their entertainment and culture. Find shelter with JESUS our families GOD Father Mother Child.

To me. Bw should just go the trans route. Black trans-men should be a big thing in the black community.✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 Besides, there is a shortage of men.

Whatever? Everyone has mh problems these days, you're not special.
