Dear Black Woman: Healing Generational Pain & Finding Our Voice with Mika Newton & Trisheena Bolakale

Join Ann-Marie in this raw and healing episode of About This Life, where she sits down with Mika Newton of Zenmi Sound and poet-author Trisheena Bolakale from The Perfect Flowers Network. In this powerful roundtable born from the Dear Black Woman anthology project, three women share deeply personal stories about trauma, shame, self-sabotage, generational healing, and the rediscovery of their inner voice.
They speak candidly about:
• Letting go of the "Superwoman" myth • Writing letters to their younger selves
• Confronting abuse, family pain, and imposter syndrome
• Reclaiming joy, identity, and personal power
• Healing out loud to inspire others on similar journeys This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a movement of truth, empowerment, and transformation.
Watch and be inspired to call a thing a thing, drop the cape, and embrace your authentic self.
