The Girl Talk: Self Care Is An Act of Political Warfare EditionThis episode was recorded live at The Hideout in Chicago on January 23, 2018.“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde One year into Trump's presidency feels like 1,000 years, but a new year brings new hope, as difficult as that is to muster at times. This month on The Girl Talk, we'll speak to women who can help give us that hope by reflecting on what we've accomplished in the last year, how to care for ourselves even at our darkest moments, and how we can avoid fatigue and keep striving to make the world less awful. It's easy to be a dick to yourself a few weeks into the new year if you missed the gym or broke your resolutions in some other ways, but that's no way to love yourself! Let's surround ourselves with some positive femme-rgy and get ready to slay 2018. What is The Girl Talk, you ask? It's a monthly show on the fourth Tuesday of the month hosted by journalist Jen Sabella and public education warrior/CPS teacher Erika Wozniak Francis and co-produced by Chicago media strategist Joanna Klonsky.
