“So I think there’s a challenge with Black women being able to be honest, to be vulnerable and to receive the support that they need in the same capacity as how much they give support to other people. So that is probably a very common theme. I think we’ve made a lot of progress when we talk about the superwoman syndrome, the mammy stereotype, the working hard stereotype, the nurturing stereotype. I think we’re beginning to unpack those things, but I still see that we have definitely a long way to go in that area.” - Camesha Jones- Brandon Read the full article “You don’t have to choose: How Black Women Can Care For Others Without Self-sacrifice” in by and the link in our story

2025 has been overwhelming for many so far. Social, political, and economic changes have put many of us back into survival mode, and for some, back into cycles of burnout.

Join Camesha on Thursday, July 3rd, for our LIVE quarterly Community Check-in to discuss what she's learned about burnout in Q2 and how you can prepare for the next season.
