Hey girl, Hey! It’s your girl, Regina Renaye! Welcome to my blog where I share my journey as a “Recovering Strong Black Woman.” I call myself a recovering strong Black woman because the journey to redefine strength and embrace vulnerability is a process, much like recovering from addiction to substances or alcohol. It’s about breaking free from the cultural pressures and unrealistic expectations that have weighed us down for far too long.
If you ever find yourself needing additional support, don’t forget to check out the Strong Black Woman Support Group podcast and community. Together, we can navigate this path to healing and self-acceptance.
