Episode 82: Jump Into Joy & Liberation Through Double Dutch
About this episode
This episode features a conversation about the significance of double dutch as a means of healing and joy within the Black community.
In this heart-filled, movement-affirming episode, we’re jumping into a deep and playful conversation with Courtney Tell , founder of Melanated Jump Squad LA (MJSLAA) , about how double dutch isn't just a childhood pastime—it’s a sacred portal to healing, liberation, and Black joy. Together, Trina and Courtney weave personal stories, cultural commentary, and reflections from our Black Mama Play event, reminding us that joy, rest, and play are not luxuries—they are birthrights.
