The Whole Black Woman Podcast
Jessica Lyles, LISW-CP, Treasurer of our Board, recently joined Denisha Gingles, MS, LCPC, BCBA, LBA, on her podcast The Whole Black Woman.
Denisha & Jessica explore the essential role of boundaries in Black motherhood, challenging the expectation to be everything to everyone. They discuss why boundaries are an act of self-preservation, not rejection, and how to set them even when guilt arises. They also break down the difference between boundary violations and boundary crossings and examine how societal pressures make it harder for Black women to say “No” without guilt.
