Manage episode 304545992 series 2912898
Childhood friends KJ and Dr. Nina Flores jam about empowered presence as biracial Women Of Color. Dr. Flores is an Assistant Professor with the Social & Cultural Analysis of Education master’s program in the College of Education at California State University, Long Beach. There she engages students in deep analyses of issues concerning justice, power, and resistance.
Nina's writing and research on topics such as gender-based violence, and harassment experienced at academic conferences has been featured in several esteemed Academic journals including Gender & Education and Journal of Critical Thought and Praxis as well as national outlets: Washington Post, Huffington Post, Ms. Magazine Blog, Progressive Planning Magazine, and the OC Weekly.
Today KJ and Nina discuss messaging around harassment and safety and the multitude of layers comprising true Self Care, including boundary setting and designing our "Dressed Up" Outsides in both feminine expression and armor.
Takeaways:
- We can be impactful when we release our material attachments, even if only for minutes
- Self Compassion is multilayered, whole, and an active intentionality
- What is your armor as you walk out your door today, Ladies?
