This week’s episode is with Dr. Donna Oriowo, and we’re diving into her brand new book Drink Water & Mind Your Business: A Black Woman’s Guide to Unlearning the BS & Healing Self-Esteem. Out now! We unpack why self-esteem isn’t just an individual journey, how the world around us shapes how we see ourselves, and why true healing requires building an affirming community. As Dr. Donna reminds us, self-esteem isn’t created in a bubble; it’s shaped by the people and environments around us. Here are a few more gems from our conversation on unlearning, pleasure, boundaries, and showing up fully for yourself—and each other. #TherapyForBlackGirls #DrDonnaOriowo #DrinkWaterAndMindYourBusiness #BlackMentalHealth #SelfEsteem
