The Wellness Revolution: Dropping the Cape and Embracing Self-Care, Inspired by LeAnne Dolce

In this profound conversation, we redefine the concept of self-care for Black women, examining the cultural myths and narratives that often privilege self-sacrifice over self-preservation. Inspired by LeAnne Dolce, a pioneer in Black women's wellness, we delve into the detrimental consequences of the "strong Black woman" stereotype and discuss practical strategies for pushing back against chronic stress, burnout and other health harms. Through inspiring stories and compelling research, we explore how taking care of oneself is not only a personal necessity but also a revolutionary act, contributing to the overall well-being of families, communities, workplaces, and, importantly, the next generations. Join us as we commit to dropping the cape, prioritizing rest, setting boundaries, practicing self-care rituals, and embracing the power of communal care. It's time for Black women to choose wellness, choose freedom and choose life, and in so doing, change the world.
