Revolution of Rest: Reclaiming Black Women’s Wellness - Inspired by Leanne Dolce
In this empowering episode of the BlackCEO Podcast, we explore the non-negotiable necessity of Black women's wellness. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering work of LeAnne Dolce, a leading advocate for holistic health among Black women, we confront the dangerous misconception that self-care is selfish, and we unravel the historical, societal, and cultural pressures that have taught Black women to prioritize others before themselves. We investigate the intergenerational patterns of sacrifice and stress, their devastating impact on mental and physical health, and the power of resistance that lies in radical self-care. With a blend of illuminating stories, inclusive self-care practices, and practical steps, we present a vital guide to break the cycle of burnout and embrace wellness as a revolutionary act.
