WHITE PRIVILEGE DOES EXIST IN AMERICA!
Dear oppressors of the STRONG BLACK WOMAN:
Don’t tell me to be myself, but in the same breath say, “Girl!!! Not like that”.

Don’t tell me how to feel. How to respond. How to live.

Don’t tell me what to say. What to wear. How to pray.

Let me be me. Let me do me. Let me live free

… in all of my vulnerability without you sitting in the corner judging me!

This episode of Get Naked LIVE features, Amy Brooks who is not afraid to tell the world that white privilege DOES INDEED EXIST.  She and I had such an amazing time chatting it up about the differences in the experiences of white women vs. those of black women, the expectations of society from black women in their personal and business lives and what we can all do to bridge the gap.

Amy Brooks gets naked about white privilege in America
 



“White women in particular have the privilege to opt in or out of conversations— opt in or opt out of the struggle, the fight for justice and difficult conversations. Everything just feels really optional for white women...”





Some of the episode's defining moments include:

* The white woman's experience vs that of the African American Woman
* The STRONG BLACK WOMAN in and outside the board room
* Bridging the gap in race relations and embracing human connection
* That moment when her bi-racial son labeled her as "another white woman yelling at black boys"
* Normalizing mixed faces and modeling authentic connections despite our differences

People often look at me and think that I have it all together — mostly because that’s what I've led them to believe.

I haven't always been this big bundle of AWESOMENESS you see out here in these internet streets, and in the words of Langston Hughes, "LIFE FOR ME AIN'T BEEN NO CRYSTAL STAIR".

It's been filled with lots of tragedy, trauma, heartache and heartbreaks.  As a matter of fact, it wasn't that long ago that my life was in complete shambles. I was carrying around so much bitterness and anger, and unforgiveness was wreaking havoc on my life.


In hindsight, it was such a miserable existence – loneliness, unhappiness and so much unrest. So, I did something about it! I took my life back and I've never been happier.

For several weeks I've been sharing the stories of some amazing women, but now it's my turn to GET NAKED!  I cannot lie, y'all.  I was a little  nervous about it, which is why it took me so long to release this episode.  Seriously, I was supposed to do this a month ago.  But my fears got the best of me.  I was like Shirley, are you really ready to get THAT naked before your listeners, but here I am taking my clothes off  because I realize that my story is not about me -- it never has been.  It's about those I've been called to serve and if you're listening this episode or reading this post, you're included in that number.

Episode 012 of Get Naked LIVE features Kaila Boulware, President of the Baldie Movement.  Kaila has been struggling with alopecia for ten years and there were days when she was afraid to leave her room without something covering her head; but FED UP with hiding, she looked at herself in the mirror about two years ago, and declared, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Today, SHE'S BALD! SHE'S NAKED! SHE'S FREE!! Tune in to today's episode of Get Naked LIVE and hear how she finally kicked fear in the butt and started walking in freedom and wholeness.

 

Kaila Boulware  gets naked about loving yourself from the OUTSIDE in while living with alopecia.
"From birth, we are taught that our hair is a major part of our beauty. But, what if we don't have any!? Are we not beautiful? Of course we are! But how do we come to learn, and accept our beauty as bald women in a world that tell us we are not so?"

Kaila addresses these questions throughout her interview while taking us on a journey of how she learned to embrace her physical nakedness, which in turn taught her how to embrace her emotional nakedness.
Some of the episode's defining moments include:

* How alopecia affected her confidence and self-esteem
* Viewing beauty from a perspective that promotes loving yourself unconditionally
* The black girl starter kit and common myths about being bald
* Dating as a baldie and how she met her husband AFTER she shaved her head
* Loving yourself with or without hair -- no matter your size, or shape
* Defining beauty on your own terms

Graduating from Rutgers University, Kaila uses her skills and talents to showcase the "NAKEDNESS"  of women in the fashion and entertainment industry.  She's also the president of The B.A.L.D.I.E (Beauty and Love Demonstrated in Everything) Movement, where she works to celebrate, support, and empower bald women and children to love themselves more--without the need of hair.

Episode 011 of Get Naked LIVE features Nicole K. Jones, Domestic Violence Advocate. In this episode Nicole shares her story of sexual and physical abuse and how she was finally able to begin the healing and forgiveness process. Nicole gets really transparent about her experience — how long she stayed, why she stayed, how she thought her love for him was enough to fix him and the straw that broke the camel's back, forcing her to accept that LOVE was not enough to fix what was broken in her offender's life.

 
In this episode Nicole K. Jones let's us into some very private areas of her life and how forgiving your offender after sexual and physical abuse set her free from the emotional bondage.
As a survivor of sexual and physical abuse, Nicole is now very cognizant of the subtle signs of abuse.  She now makes it a habit of listening to what people are not saying.  Additionally, as a domestic violence advocate she sows seeds of hope, healing and happiness into the lives of other women who need support in that area.
Some of the episode's defining moments include:

* How it felt to be labeled as strong when her life was falling apart
* The affects of sexual and physical abuse in her life
* How she overcame sexual and physical abuse
* What it was like wearing the mask and how she moved on from a facade life
* How to recognize the subtle signs of abuse
* What it took and how long it took for her to forgive her offender

In this episode Nicole K. Jones let's us into some very private areas of her life and how forgiving your offender after sexual and physical abuse set her free from the emotional bondage.
As a survivor of sexual and physical abuse, Nicole is now very cognizant of the subtle signs of abuse.  She now makes it a habit of listening to what people are not saying.  Additionally, as a domestic violence advocate she sows seeds of hope, healing and happiness into the lives of other women who need support in that area.
Some of the episode's defining moments include:

* How it felt to be labeled as strong when her life was falling apart
* The affects of sexual and physical abuse in her life
* How she overcame sexual and physical abuse
* What it was like wearing the mask and how she moved on from a facade life
* How to recognize the subtle signs of abuse
* What it took and how long it took for her to forgive her offender

Episode 008 of Get Naked LIVE features Danielle Dunn, CEO of Chikara Communications, LLC.  In this episode Danielle  takes us on a journey of how losing her best friend  to Hodgkin’s lymphoma took an emotional toll on her, how challenging walking through grief and healing was  and how she is now honoring her friends life.

 
This episode sheds a light on the individual journey of walking through grief and healing
 

For years Danielle,  thought that mourning and grieving the loss of someone she loved dearly was only appropriate for her birthday and anniversary of her death.  She also felt that she could only have level five grief because she wasn't a parent or blood sibling.  She felt that if her friend's own mother was being "strong" in the face of losing her only child, then she definitely needed to get her ish together and not let the death of someone who was "just her friend" break her.

Some of the episode's defining moments include:
 

* How she didn't want to make others feel uncomfortable by allowing herself to grieve
* How she felt like she didn't have the right to grieve because "she was just my friend"
* How she was extremely uncomfortable  with the feelings of sadness and how feeling uncomfortable put on her on the run and led her to engaging in unhealthy activities
* How she wishes she had allowed herself to properly experience the grief
* How she now celebrates her best friend daily through the Ivy locs books series
* How she uses the devastating loss to affirm other women by talking about the value of sisterhood
* How allowing yourself to feel emotional pain sets you free
* How important it is to find a healing process that works specifically for you
* How she is now honoring her friends life.
