Sobriety takes work. Self-esteem takes work. Figuring out who you are takes work.
Ever wondered how a blog can transform into a lifeline for many? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', John chats with Khadi Olagoke, the founder of Sober Black Girls Club. What began as Khadi's personal blog about her struggle to get sober while still drinking has blossomed into a thriving community and resource for Black women navigating their own sobriety journeys.
Khadi's story is one of resilience and community-building, emphasizing that sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol—it's about finding your self-worth and understanding who you are without it. She shares candid insights on the importance of having a supportive network, tackling mental health issues, and the work it takes to build self-esteem. The conversation also touches on how the Sober Black Girls Club has mobilized for social causes, organizing no-alcohol challenges and fundraisers for important issues like Breonna Taylor's case.
Khadi also discusses the impact of COVID-19 on addiction and recovery, shedding light on how the pandemic has affected her community members. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that sobriety is achievable and that there's a community out there ready to support you. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Khadi's story offers inspiration and practical advice.
