 Whitney Knox Lee and guest Julia Washington continue their conversation unpacking common narratives about Black women. This time using scenes from the Amazon Prime original show "Harlem" to discuss the "angry Black woman" stereotype and the balancing act Black women face as they try not to overshoot their mark on being strong. (Fans of Angie, this one is for you!)

Julia Washington is a biracial (Black and Italian) solo mom, artist, writer, and the host of Pop Culture Makes Me Jealous and the Jelly Pops Book Club podcasts. 

In this conversation, Julia and Whitney relate over scenes from "Harlem," share personal experiences, affirming mantras, and self-care practices to combat harmful narratives and protect their peace.

Here are three key self-preservation takeaways from this conversation:

1. Create Safe and Nurturing Spaces: It can be so significant and meaningful to surround ourselves with environments that nurture our well-being and provide a sense of belonging.
2. Normalize Naming Emotions: By openly expressing our emotions, we can better understand and address our needs, fostering emotional well-being and healthier relationships. Do this. Make it normal in your life.
3. Do Things That Fill Your Cup:  Prioritize actual self-care, find joy in simple pleasures, and fill our cups to maintain balance and inner peace.
