Episode 49: Black History Month

February 14, 2023 • YEG Wellness Collective • Season 1 • Episode 49

TW: the first half of this episode discusses Tyre Nichols. For those who would like to listen to the lighter half of our conversation, please scroll forward to around the 31 minute mark.

Happy Black History Month y'all !

We hope you have been celebrating this month and recognizing the Black and African community in your own ways !

In today's episode we chose to focus on the whole spectrum, starting off by taking the time to acknowledge and discuss Tyre Nichols. We reflect on the known facts of the case so far and the impacts cases such as these continue to have across the borders and personally for so many people. Linda shares her own experiences when she heard the news and hold space for the family and friends who have to go through this loss.

We then shift gears to celebrate Black History Month, discussing pop culture moments that have recently happened and listen to some beautiful souls who took some time to share with you all what Black History Month means to them (including the sweetest and cutest last audio message) and what it means to us!

We hope that you spend this month celebrating, creating, and taking up space this month. We hope you are taking the time to learn if you are an ally or are showing off your pride if you are a member of the Black community. You are all so beautiful and we hope you never forget it!
