Habeebah Rasheed Grimes

In this final conversation of No Crystal Stair Podcast's first season, Habeebah sits down with Lawna Gamble, founder of Willow Cove Art & Wellness Boutique, as she shares her pathway to self-healing and self-acceptance after experiencing debilitating mental and physical health challenges. Lawna describes the ways her son has been a source of wisdom, encouragement and inspiration throughout their relationship, particularly as she does the work to live more fully in her purpose while reclaiming and redefining her professional identity.

Throughout this episode, Lawna and Habeebah talk about the harmful impact of transgenerational and racial trauma on Black women and our sons, and the importance of acknowledging and healing from the toxic effects. Learn more about transgenerational and racial trauma by reading Dr. Kenneth Hardy's article, "Healing the Hidden Wounds of Racial Trauma," or engaging with the work of Resmaa Menakem, author of My Grandmother's Hands, or Joy DeGruy, author of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome.  In service to our collective healing, also check out All About Love by bell hooks.
