It’s good that you’ve taken control of your own life and its direction. Being the first daughter can be challenging in African families.

"I had built a prison around me, brick by brick, with perfectionism and people-pleasing as the mortar."

Oof! This was loud. Thanks for sharing.

The pleasure is all mine. I’m glad we have a safe space to share our most intimate experiences of life and we get to heal from our past trauma as black women.

It's such a conundrum - the push and pull of it all! At least we're all becoming self-aware
