We Root Ourselves Here

Katara McCarty Season 2 Episode 6

In this solo episode, Katara invites us to pause, breathe, and reflect on the urgent importance of prioritizing our mental health and well-being as Black women. Especially now.

She begins with grounding breathwork practice, weaves in data from The State of Self-Care for Black Women and The Highland Project’s Poll and speaks truth about the systems that harm us while pointing toward collective care as resistance.

The episode closes with her reading her original poem, We Root Ourselves Here, a love letter to our care, joy, and community.
