Shades of Strong ™ | Rewriting the Strong Black Woman Narrative

The Shades of Strong® podcast is your weekly permission slip to lay down the weight of the world and just breathe. Hosted by Shirl — the friend who sees through your “I’m fine” mask and says, “Sis, no you’re not. Let’s talk about it.”
This is a safe space for Black women to redefine strength and release the need to carry it all alone. Through heartfelt conversations and the transformative Support Languages™ framework, we explore what it means to finally feel supported in ways that truly nourish you.
If you’re a Black woman who’s been doing the most, feeling unseen, and wondering when it’s your turn to exhale, this space was created for you—a space where every sis is seen, heard, and held in all her complexity.
Together, we’re unlearning the struggle and rewriting strength—because for Black women, strength should never come at the expense of joy, rest, or ease.
