Suzanne Roberts welcomes Dr. Sierra Austin-King, a brilliant scholar in Women's Gender & Sexuality Studies and African-American Studies, for a revolutionary conversation about finding internal liberation. Dr. Austin-King shares her personal journey as a first-generation scholar, navigating her growth from non-profit social justice work to achieving a PhD, and how she's now intentionally disrupting generational trauma—especially for Black women—by embracing radical rest and her inherent radiance. The discussion culminates in a fascinating exploration of her research at the intersection of critical spiritualities, social justice, and the concept of honoring Black ancestors. She emphasizes how ancestral wisdom and small, everyday acts of resistance are key to developing lasting, internal wellness and a powerful form of generational wealth.
