In this episode of Sis Unleashed, we confront the often-overlooked reality of mental and emotional abuse, exploring how invisible wounds can be just as damaging—if not more so—than physical harm. Inspired by the transformative work of Leola Browder, we unpack the impact of chronic belittling, gaslighting, and control on Black women in the LGBTQ community, and how these experiences can erode confidence, leadership, and well-being. Through powerful stories and research, we challenge the normalization of emotional abuse and offer strategies for setting boundaries, seeking healing, and reclaiming your power. Tune in to discover why protecting your mind is a radical act of self-preservation and leadership.
