About this episode
Elaine and Mumtaz discuss the impact of internalised shame on Black women, particularly in relation to neurodiversity and societal expectations.
Heartwork with Elaine and Mumtaz unpacking internalised shame. The weight of masking neurodiversity under white supremacy and capitalism. As Black women we do not get to be fragile, we've never been able to be fragile. ADHD has become trivalised and glamourised on tiktok and insta, just when we started to stand in ourselves. From our bodies showing us patterns, to speaking out loud to regulate, we share tools we learned to navigate shame.
