Breathe, Baby, Breathe: The Fresh Air of African Values
Welcome to Breathe, Baby, Breathe, a podcast from Community Healing Network, where we engage Culture Carriers in conversations that light the path to emotional emancipation and cultural healing for people of African ancestry. Listen in each month for a new conversation that will offer you emotional and cultural strength for the journey ahead. Come, breathe in the fresh air of African values. (Listeners' note: we were unable to remove approximately 90 seconds of the background noise that occurs during President Aird's opening remarks in Episode One. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.) || #DefytheLie and #EmbracetheTruth to #FlourishWhileBlack
