Hey family, I could not let January slip by without sharing some step one racial sobriety. The adapted step 1 from AA translates to us as, 'We admitted we were powerless over the impact of racism (white supremacy), that our lives had become unmanageable.'  I am thrilled to be sharing the space with my sista in recovery Rineya who agreed to join me to share her experience strength and hope on this first step as a black women in the rooms. We explore the pain and powerlessness of living under the system of white supremacy, her rock bottom moment, tokenism, racism in the rooms, and the power of black spaces which bring hope in taking the first step. You don't want to miss this! You can connect with Rineya at www.myblackexperience.co.uk  or follow her on instagram @Rineya_Umran_ka 

For more details about racial sobriety in the recovery rooms go to www.theblacksteps.com. This episode is sponsored by the Yard of Greatness 'Living in Love' program. A healing support group and mentorship program for black women to dive deep, explore and manifest all aspects of love. To love yourself and be loved is a basic human need but if you didn't feel loved as a child it will be difficult to give or receive love as an adult. Self LOVE, Relationship LOVE, Divine LOVE, Cultural LOVE, inner child LOVE, Creative LOVE are just a few of the topics we will discuss throughout 2020. Bell Hooks' book 'All about love: New visions' will guide the conversations.

If you are willing to do the internal work, the benefits of this program include:
Increased confidence
More self awareness
Reduced isolation
Supportive Community.
Stronger personal boundaries.
Deeper connection in relationships.

All this lovage will all be delivered with live Sista Circle support, heartwork journal prompts, videos and a private community space. go to www.love.juneallen.net  to join the LIVING IN LOVE community. I Look forward to seeing you on the other side!
