In this episode Weeze and Katara talk about wellness and healing (and the lack thereof) for Black, Brown, & Indegenous women and femmes of color. They challenge us to think and imagine what could be possible if we were nurtured, cared for, healed, and supported. Katara spoke about her experience in feeling the collective grief of COVID-19, watching the news portray health disparities about BBIPOC without sharing the full story, and witnessing the racist killings from earlier this year. She had a moment that broke her down into tears and nudged her into action to support her community, that was the birth of her BIWOC emotional wellness app, EXHALE.
ABOUT WEEZE
Louiza Doran, known and referred to as Weeze, is a cis-het Amazigh* female identifying human who uses she/her/they/them pronouns. She’s known as a coach, podcast host, advocate, agent of change, strategist and educator (to name a few) but is ultimately a compassionate provocateur that is out to help folks uncover their path of possibility.
ABOUT KATARA
From out of the realities of abandonment by her biological mother, being bi-racial and growing up in a Black home, Katara McCarty realized early in life that the color of her skin mattered. After becoming a single mother at 19 and finding the courage to leave an abusive relationship, Katara became an entrepreneur holding leadership positions in both non- and for-profit organizations. Today, Katara is a sought-after coach, author, and podcast host dedicated to cultivating brave spaces where all Black, Indigenous, Women of Color (BIWOC) belong. As a Black woman, she is committed to amplifying the richness of BIWOC and their stories, while also advocating for and providing emotional well-being resources for BIWOC, through her app EXHALE.
