Labor Day often reminds us of the fight for fair wages and safer conditions, but for Black women, the story runs deeper.
For generations, we’ve carried not only the work of labor but also the invisible weight of masking; hiding pain, shrinking ourselves, and smiling through exhaustion so the world could feel comfortable.
Our grandmothers worked tirelessly, often in silence, wearing masks of strength because vulnerability wasn’t safe. Many of us inherited that mask...showing up as everything for everyone while pushing our own needs aside. But here’s the truth: liberation begins when we stop pretending and start honoring what we actually feel.
This Labor Day, the invitation is simple: put the mask down. Claim rest as your birthright. Recognize that your worth is not tied to endless productivity. Your radical act is to stand unmasked, whole, and unapologetically free.
“Children do not become who you tell them to be. They become mirrors of either who you are, the life you escaped, or who you once strived to become.”
Your presence, without the mask, is enough.
If you’ve been struggling with carrying everyone else’s expectations, hiding behind strength when you’re exhausted, or feeling unseen despite all your labor; you don’t have to keep doing it alone.
I help Black women release people-pleasing, unmask the roles that no longer serve them, and step into their radical truth. Through the C6 Blueprint™ and Mirror Mapping™, we’ll uncover who you are beneath the masks—and design a life that finally feels like yours.
Start your own journey of unmasking with The Radical Act of Saving Your Damn Self! Your liberation isn’t just an idea — it’s your next step.
