Imagine trying to change the world while making sure you don’t lose yourself in the process. That’s exactly what Chloe Hakim-Moore, a social impact designer and mental health advocate, talks about in this episode of 'Rebuilding the Beast'. Hosted by NBA champion Festus Ezeli, the conversation kicks off on a somber note, recorded just after the tragic Uvalde, Texas shooting. But Chloe's passion and dedication quickly turn the mood around.
Chloe shares her journey as a first-generation American, detailing how her family's history—from sharecropping to segregation—shaped her perspective on activism and well-being. She explains the four pillars of activism she follows and offers practical advice on how anyone can contribute to positive change. Therapy and self-care play a crucial role in Chloe's life, something she emphasizes throughout the episode. She candidly discusses how therapy saved her life and the vital lesson that self-care is non-negotiable.
The conversation also dives into the economic challenges and workplace inequities that many communities face. Chloe and Festus explore ways to address these issues while maintaining hope and protecting one's emotional well-being. If you're interested in how to balance activism with self-care, or if you just need a dose of inspiration, this episode is a must-listen. Chloe’s story is a powerful reminder that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others.
