SPEAKHER

My first official summer song, Summer Vibes, is here. This record was inspired by memories of summers spent with my grandparents and cousins— the feeling of togetherness, warmth, laughter, music, and moments that stay with you long after the season ends. I wanted to capture nostalgia, peace, joy, and atmosphere…and turn those memories into sound. The official video is now available on my YouTube channel. And the entire SpeakHer Podcast soundtrack is now streaming on TIDAL. Support the showFB @thespeakherpodcast | IG @camille.essick | camilleessick.com YT: CamilleEssick "Where Innovators & Creators Connect".**I do not own the rights to this music, excluding all theme songs, voice overs intro and outro music and lyrics specifically for Camille Essick and The SpeakHer Podcast.**

For many Black women, faith and the church have been foundational.But what happens when the same space that offers covering…also creates pressure?In Episode 4 of The Psychology of Us, we explore the role of faith in shaping identity, self-esteem, and emotional expression.This conversation unpacks: faith as a source of structure, hope, and belonging  performance versus authenticity in spiritual spaces  the pressure of “being chosen,” called, or seen as strong  and the difference between healing and hiding in faith environments Faith should be a place of freedom.This episode asks: Do you feel safe being honest… or do you feel pressure to appear whole?Support the showFB @thespeakherpodcast | IG @camille.essick | camilleessick.com YT: CamilleEssick "Where Innovators & Creators Connect".**I do not own the rights to this music.**

Community is meant to be a place of support.But what happens when it also becomes a space of comparison?In Episode 3 of The Psychology of Us, we explore the tension between connection and silent competition among Black women.This conversation unpacks:The difference between genuine support and unspoken comparisonHow social media intensifies pressure and perceptionRespectability politics and the expectation to “present well”And how scarcity and environment can shape how we see each otherYou can be surrounded by people… and still feel like you're measuring yourself.This episode invites you to reflect on where you feel most like yourself…and where you feel like you're performing.Support the showFB @thespeakherpodcast | IG @camille.essick | camilleessick.com YT: CamilleEssick "Where Innovators & Creators Connect".**I do not own the rights to this music.**

What we call “strength” is not always strength. Sometimes… it's survival.In Episode 2 of The Psychology of Us, we move beyond the foundation of self-esteem and take a deeper look at how trauma shapes identity for Black women.Not just the obvious trauma… but the subtle, normalized experiences that taught us to keep going, stay strong, and push through without processing what we've carried.This conversation unpacks:What trauma actually looks like beyond extreme experiencesThe “Strong Black Woman” archetype and how it shapes expectation and identityEmotional suppression and over-functioning as survival responsesThe difference between generational trauma and personal traumaAnd how survival can quietly become who we believe we areThis is not about labeling yourself.  It's about understanding what you've carried… and why.Because survival may have protected you… But it was never meant to define you.Support the showFB @thespeakherpodcast | IG @camille.essick | camilleessick.com YT: CamilleEssick "Where Innovators & Creators Connect".**I do not own the rights to this music.**

Self-esteem doesn't start in adulthood. It begins early… shaped by what we were told, what we experienced, and what we were expected to become.In this opening episode of The Psychology of Us, we start at the foundation.We explore how self-esteem is formed in Black women through early messages, childhood environments, and the subtle (and not so subtle) ways identity is shaped over time.This conversation unpacks:The lack of consistent affirmation many young Black girls experienceThe early adultification of Black girls and the pressure to “be grown” too soonThe impact of being labeled, corrected, and conditioned before fully developing identityThe question we don't always ask: Who told you who you were?And the difference between survival and identityThis is not about blame. It's about awareness. Because you cannot rebuild what you don't first recognize.If you've ever questioned why you think the way you do about yourself…this is where the conversation begins.Support the showFB @thespeakherpodcast | IG @camille.essick | camilleessick.com YT: CamilleEssick "Where Innovators & Creators Connect".**I do not own the rights to this music.**
