It’s Reclamation Season

For so many of us as Black women leaders, resilience has often meant learning to adapt to spaces that were never built with us in mind, often layered with the weight of microaggressions and quiet hostilities. And in doing so, how many times have we folded parts of ourselves into silence just to endure?

I’m coming back after a season of deep grief, sadness, frustration, and feeling unmoored. This is my first video in a long while, and it’s the beginning of what I’m calling my Reclamation Season — a season of taking back my time, my boundaries, my wellness, and my sense of self. Reclaiming what was never truly gone… just pushed to the back or covered over for a while.
