It’s the weekly convo I desperately need to stay focused on my own interrupting of oppression and injustice. Insightful and so valuable. Countless episodes have inspired me to take measurable action in the very same day. Just listening and being in podcast convo with Nikki is liberating. Thank you!!!
Proudly infected with the “woke mind virus” and learning how to advocate and be a better ally. The sooner we recognize who is actually making life miserable (the elite) the sooner we can remedy our situation
Every episode challenges my preconceived notions and invites me to go deeper and broader. Thank you, Nikki Blak, for the gift of your podcast and all your work.
As a white person, this podcast is like being splashed in the face with cold water. In a good way. Thank you for the practical advice towards integrity and collective healing.
The two manifestation episodes were paradigm shifting. I’ve saved it so I can re-listen and absorb everything Nikki is saying. It is so refreshing to see a black woman talking about this topic. I’ve been craving a conversation about manifestation that is rooted in an understanding of systemic oppression. I’d love to hear more!
