Reclaiming My Power

Happy 1 Year Anniversary Reclaiming My Power Podcast & Happy Birthday to me! We made it! 1 year in and so many to go! I appreciate you all for the love and continued support throughout this journey. This episode is the beginning of an end. One that I thought would kill me. An experience that should've ended me. In this episode Jae and I sit down and discuss the miscarriage we suffered last year. Much needed to bury the past and move into the future with no looking back. I pray you enjoy.

We’ve made it guys! The Season Finale is here. Thank you all for sticking with me throughout this season. This was a season of learning, patience and overall, trusting myself on the mic. Can’t wait to see what Season 2 has in store. ⁣ ⁣ For the season finale me and my guest hosts discussed SEX. It’s taboo in Black households to have this talk amongst family. Ultimately leaving one to find out how to navigate sexually from outside sources such as friends, tv and social media. When did you receive the Birds and the Bees talk at home? What were your views on sex growing up? ⁣ ⁣ ‘The Sex Talk’. You won’t be disappointed. As the generations are growing discussions like this are necessary and very important to have. We want healthy relationships with sex. Let’s make a habit of opening up so our children don’t suffer the same fates as we did. ⁣ ⁣ Peace, love and laughter. ⁣ ⁣ - Dia ⁣ Guest Hosts @amomentwitha @shaunciology @_blvck.king_ @theoriginalplaymaker @levys.empire56 Produced by @theaveragejoemedia ⁣ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/support

This week we talk sex! Feeling Myself! Unpacking Masturbation Shame. Even the word itself conjures up discomfort for many women. Where does this discomfort and guilt come from? Lack of information. Masturbation is an inherent gift. Feeling stuck creatively? Masturbate. Feeling blue? Masturbate. Can't sleep? Masturbate. Low self esteem? Masturbate. Feel yourself. All of you! This weeks guest hosts are Manda Millions. She can be found on IG @mandamillions on Facebook- Manda Millions and her website where her sex toys can be purchased is whipsandmoans.com We also were joined by Taroy Jackson.

Dear Black Men Part 1 was a hit. So I decided to run this episode back. Dear Black Men, who do you need to forgive in order to begin to heal?  What are some of the pressures that you face but rarely talk about? What were you taught about relationships when you were young? How did it help or hinder you? What has been the greatest lesson learned as a father?  On this episode I am joined by the host of Socially THOTful Podcast, Warren and Tyler. They open up and let me into their world as Black Men and answer some tough questions so that I can understand their plight better. As a Black Woman, I feel it is important to get their point of view so that we can love each other better without assumptions or judgement. I hope you enjoy.  Both of these Young men can be found on ig @s.t_podcast (#sociallyTHOTfulpodcast). Tyler's personal Instagram is  @_blvck.king_ and Warren's personal Instagram is @levysicecream. Please make sure you comment, like and subscribe. We would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.  - Dia  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/support

 Every Black woman I’ve known has carried the weight of the world on her shoulders to create a better future for the next generation. We feel guilty for resting. We feel guilty for having weak moments. We feel guilty for wanting me time. We are overworked and underpaid. Constantly throwing on that superwoman cape to save the fucking world. We need to take a step back and hang up the cape to be able to be happy and healthy. But most of us have this nagging voice in the back of our head to do more to prove our worth. But we must remember that we have to prove that we are worthy of our own self-love, and take off the cape. I am worthy of taking a step back and sleeping and dreaming and being idle; I am worthy of the self-love that comes with taking off said cape and take the world off my shoulders for a bit. I do this to create a better future. I do this to help my sisters and my future children know that they are worthy and that they may rest as well. For all of our sakes, sis take off your cape.

How long does it take to drain the life out of a Black man's body? 8 minutes and 46 seconds. 8 bullets took the life of Breonna Taylor as she slept in her bed. N*ggas can't even exercise without being gunned down . This is a STATE OF FUCKING EMERGENCY AMERICA! In episode 10, I sit down with @averagejtpc & @bucleyonair to discuss these recent tragedies. Pain and trauma that we know all too well. Another name added behind a hashtag. Another family grieving. Another ancestor gained. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/support

Ain't no young girl fast enough to catch the attention of a man that ain't attracted to kids. In episode 9 we discuss Sexual Abuse in our communities.  Studies show that as many as 60% of Black girls experience Sexual Abuse by the age of 18. Unfortunately the number for our Black boys is always under-reported.  Why are the predators almost always protected but the abused shunned and scared into silence? How long will we allow the 'Me Too'  to continue to transcend into the next generation? It's high time we uncover the elephant in the room and dig up at the root this disease that has ravaged our Black families for generations. Healing isn't easy, but someone has to do it!  Let't get into this discussion.  https://linktr.ee/reclaimingmypower --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reclaimingmypowerpodcast/support
