[@purposedcomposition]

"We are in survival mode so much that rest makes us uncomfortable..." I felt that one in my bones! valuing health over hustle! yes to that!

[@hockeygirl8401]

This needs to go viral. This has been healing for me.

[@NaTashaBLMFT]

She is on point and speaking the truth ❤

[@Dr_Kennebrew]

That was my mother's saying as well. The more you cry the less you pee.

[@Allthingscocoposh]

This TEDx speaks volumes and highly resonates. She delivered this exceptionally. Praying 🙏🏾 for our culture.

[@topgurl9313]

This talk is one of the best I've ever seen. I feel like she hit so many points in a shorter amount of time, than some of the other TED talks covering a similar topic.

[@latonyamsummers1]

I love the way you delivered your talk, with humor and confidence and authenticity. You betta!

[@itsreallyniamarie]

I often fight myself about resting when I’m genuinely tired & then when I have things to do I find myself flaking

[@shandacomeauxlcsw7188]

Excellent! The more we cry, the more healthier we’ll be❤️

[@kingquezDBMG]

Thank you SO MUCH for this sister. I'm 48 years old and the healing of multiple generations of built up Trauma just began within the past 5 years. YOU are necessary for OUR evolution. 🙌🏾

[@heavenaaliyah354]

This talk deserves more. Wow.

[@DTWAR]

Absolutely beautiful speech. I too agree with her statement, “being placed on earth to heal the blaque man, woman and child”

[@sonalifiske]

Jalen Agnew 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I swear God will bless you for this Generational Awakening light bulb you have sent out into this world. When I say all the weight just shed off my shoulders, back and the tightness in my jaw. I felt my self in real time release it all. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you🙏🏾

Wonderful talk. Excellent job on creating the parallel between the two worlds. Wonderful display of what cognitive dissonance looks like and the trauma responses it invokes. Keep keeping on sis. Do the damn thing!

This is my clarification

[@natetinsley3119]

I agree with most but not all of it, well done ma'am 👏

[@shawnevans5612]

❤WOW! This was so good and so well done 👍🏾

[@KiRetteCouture]

Wow! This makes me want to hear an immigrant version of this talk. Aversion to indigenous beliefs can be a trauma response but it can also be the result of an informed choice.

[@Thehabitualthinker]

Super proud of you this was insightful! Keep up the good work💙

[@aliciarae8726]

I love how this video has way fewer views relative to others that have been up around the same time. More white people need to watch this but judging by who's in the comments doesn't look like it.
