Ep. 33: Finding an Identity outside of Work/Organizing, Therapy, and Repro’s Need for Pay Equity [Rant]

 

Black Feminist Rants lives up to its name in this episode with host, LaKia Williams, discussing (or ranting, depending on how you view it) her recent experiences starting therapy, finding an identity outside of the reproductive justice movement/non-profit work/organizing, and the need for Repro organizations to pay employees a living wage.

LaKia discusses her recent conversations in therapy surrounding feeling like her entire identity is centered around the work she does, something that she believes is common for young Black women, who are taught that they need to succeed at any costs. LaKia discusses working through unlearning this and the pains that comes with it.
