Having conversations about race is uncomfortable. But for progress between individuals (and our communities) to happen, we need to be able to speak openly and honestly. Podcast hosts of The Kinswomen Yseult and Hannah use their own friendship and experiences from different racial backgrounds to offer guidance on navigating these layered conversations.

Nearly a quarter of Black women between 18 and 30 have fibroids compared to about 6% of white women, according to some national estimates. By age 35, that number increases to 60%. Black women are also two to three times more likely to have recurring fibroids or suffer from complications. Today's guest is Dr. Candice Nicole. She is an award-winning associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of Kentucky, where she studies sexual wellness and liberation. She also hosts F*ck the System: A Sexual Liberation Podcast, as well as How to Love a Human, a liberation podcast that asks people with multiple marginalized identities what the world would be like if it loved them. She's published over 50 research articles, been featured in HuffPost, Women's Health, Cosmopolitan, and the New York Times .

This conversation is one that I manifested even before I launched Be Well, Sis! Rachel Cargle is a writer, entrepreneur, philanthropic innovator, and founder of The Loveland Foundation, Inc., founded in 2018, which offers free access to mental health care through the Therapy Fund for Black women and girls. Rachel Cargle’s A RENAISSANCE OF OUR OWN: A Memoir & Manifesto on Reimagining is a crucial addition to the antiracist conversation and comes from a place of deep personal discovery. There are breaking points in all our lives when we realize that the way things have been done before no longer serve us, be it the way we approach our relationships, our belief systems, our work, our education, even our rest. For Rachel Cargle, reimagining—the act of creating in our minds that which does not exist but that we believe can and should—has been a lifelong process. Reimagining served as the most powerful catalyst for Cargle’s personal transformation from a small-town Christian wife to an incisive queer feminist voice of a generation. Our conversation dives into honing our highest values and redefining success, exploring platonic romance, have a deep relationship with all versions of ourselves, self-forgiveness, and much more!
