Hello, lovely listeners! In this solo episode, I share my observations on the intersection of race and toxic productivity culture. As I've been promoting my book, "Women Who Work Too Much (https://hayhs.com/wwwtm_pp_pb_az) ," I've noticed a lack of conversations about how this issue uniquely affects Black women and women of the global majority.



 



In this episode, I share my thoughts on:


• The systemic issues that perpetuate overworking in women's lives.


• The importance of understanding how race, gender, and class intersect to shape the experiences of Black women in this culture.


• The limitations of white feminism and the need for a more inclusive discourse that acknowledges the diverse struggles faced by all women.


• Why embracing softness and spirituality can be a radical act of self-liberation for Black women.




I'm inviting more nuanced conversation about intersectionality and toxic productivity.
