Inspired by the Dear Headspace Podcast - I love Robin Hopkins!
R- Recognize what is happening
A- Allow the feeling to be there, do not try to force it to change
I- Investigate with care I SAID INVESTIGATE, not INTELLECTUALIZE
N- Name and nurture: can you put words to this feeling? What do you need? If someone else named that they felt that way, what would you give them?
Topic: Book, Bop, Bummer 00:39:45
I owe Glorilla an apology… she is so much more than a social media rapper, shes a hitmaker!
“Love yourself” is not an adequate response to feeling isolated/lacking community!

A trauma bond - also known as a bond of trauma, abusive bonding,, traumatic love, traumatic bonding, or Stockholm syndrome is a dynamic that occurs in the context of abusive relationships. It happens when the person inflicting exploitation, violence, or another type of trauma becomes an essential part of the persons life who is experiencing this trauma. So what are people trying to get at by misusing the term?How to share without "dumping" on someone: ACTIONAsk consent - I would like to share something hard with you, do you have the capacity to hear it? Check in as you share - I know this is hard to hear, are you okay?Tell them what you need or how you are healing- Inquire about them - so I just shared a lot but I would love to hear about youOpen up about other things- I also love potteryNotice how you feel sharing - were you ready to share?https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/trauma/what-abusers-hope-we-never-learn-about-traumatic-bonding/Topic 00:35:44Things I’m thankful happened this yearCurved Chronicles 00:47:38Queer femmes jus different!Community Contributors Now Credits This episode of QueerWOC the podcast was made possible thanks to the monetary contributions of Maya W who became a new patron, REVIEWS BY CAMERAQT, YVACREE, and zeeezeeeThis episode was also made possible by the listeners in Luton, UK; Moscow, Russia; and Douglasville, GA

In this episode, I close out this chapter of QueerWOC with a compilation of highlights from the nonpareil I had the luck of calling my sister, Nikeeta Slade. Yall got to know Nikeeta as the womanist worker wordsmith wizard or the Leftist luminary labor lecturer, but I wanted to compile this mixtape to highlight Nikeeta, one of the greatest organizers and Proletariat Black Feminist theorists of our time. I hope yall enjoy this collection of her speeches, laughs, and insight and will see yall in December (her birth month) for the new chapter of QueerWOC. Forever love ya, Nikeeta!

Money and Nikeeta are back with another packed episode. Money gives some suggestions on how to build vicarious resilience. Nikeeta reorients the conversation on Patrisse Cullors to a more helpful one on organizational democracy. We celebrate writer, educator, and banger-maker Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor as QueerWOC of the week and talk through our thoughts on being parents. And what is up with Black Queer cashiers??? Yall okay?

Review from RainzzSC
Mental Moment with Money 00:32:38
How to build Vicarious Resilience?
YES! The same way we are able to mirror the negative impacts of Trauma, we are also able to mirror and experience resilience - the ability to adaptively respond to adversity
Seeing other as equal/community as you rather than you as “savior”
Recognize strength in others
Develop your potential
Witness other people’s joy
Ask folks how they do it
Get involved in social causes and social change
Word 00:53:04
Patrisse Cullors owns houses… but what are the actual questions we should be exploring about the organizational structure of the largest liberation movement of our time?
Topic 01:33:00
Could we see ourselves being parents? We sort of kind of both land on yes… for now.
