23. A Conversation About Authentic Voice With Wenonah Valentine [May is For Mothers]
In Episode 23, we have a conversation with Wenonah Valentine, the director of iDream For Racial Health Equity, about the power of your authentic voice.
CONVERSATION:
Wenonah and Angela recount the origin of their relationship. They met when Wenonah hired Angela to write, direct, and co-produce a theater production for her organization, iDream for Racial Health Equity. It was during the production that the mentoring relationship began.
Angela was going through a difficult time during that production and Wenonah stepped up to help. One of the pivotal lessons Wenonah coached Angela through was owning her authentic voice.
Wenonah was pregnant at 19 when she was a freshman in college. She tells her story of how her lived experience helped develop her authentic voice. She has learned how to tell her story as an overcomer and the things that she has lived through have developed her.
Wenonah gives advice to people who are in a habit of not speaking their authentic truth.
Wenonah gives advice on how and why we need to learn to say no to things that go against our true desires.
Wenonah shares about her surprise trip to China to meet her grandson and gives us a glimpse into her experience with Chinese culture.
