Mama Tanya After Dark

With everything shut down, we can't be in the studio, but we can't stay away either, booettes and boos, so here's the first remote MTAD, about how everything is fake; dealing with anxiety and parenting while being stuck inside; and taking unsolicited advice gracefully, with a grain of salt and some elderberry. Special guest: clinical psychologist Dr. Stephanie Williams aka cousin Stephanie

How do we just show up for ourselves, and not let capitalism make us feel like we're worthless if we aren't "producing"? How do we indulge in the mundane or silly or problematic without guilt or fear or shame, and give ourself a chance to reboot, refresh and restart?Join me and Crystal @msclarity83 as we talk through the politics of chilling... and then we fucking chill.Let me take y’all on an auditory journey of what makes me laugh, what mellows me out, what it means for Black women & ppl of marginalized genders to  divest and center rest, pleasure and themselves.                                                                     **********Links to some of the work read and discussed in this episode:https://www.akpress.org/pleasure-activism.htmlhttps://blackpowernaps.black/https://ibw21.org/commentary/reparations-for-black-people-should-include-rest/https://thenapministry.wordpress.com/2018/01/05/first-blog-post/
