Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!

Ever wondered what it's like to be the only Black woman in a corporate boardroom? Join us as we sit down with Sarissa Thrower, an expert in strategic communications and reputation management, who shares her profound journey navigating the challenging worlds of Instagram and broader corporate America. From fostering restorative spaces for Black individuals to redefining trauma as a transformative experience, Sarissa's story is one of resilience and empowerment. She provides an enlightening perspective on the often unseen and unspoken struggles faced in predominantly white professional environments.

Sarissa opens up about her childhood experiences with racism, the complex dynamics of growing up in California, and the life lessons learned from diverse school environments. We recount deeply personal incidents, such as being told to "go back to Africa," and explore how these moments shaped her ability to navigate a world that often feels hostile. Our discussion highlights the importance of family teachings about self-worth and resilience, and how cultural shifts during school years influenced her perspectives on race, class, and identity.

We also delve into the importance of mental health and wellness for Black women, especially when navigating the pressures of white supremacy culture. Sarissa shares her journey of self-care practices, the impact of mentorship, and the role of community in fostering strength and growth. From discussing the impact of microdosing shrooms to the necessity of seeking credible advice and standing up for oneself in the workplace, this episode is packed with authentic insights and practical wisdom. Don’t miss this powerful conversation about the resilience and power of Black women in both personal and professional spheres.

Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.
