EbonyJanice Moore: Embracing Rage and Joy in the Fight for Social Justice

I think like just the most basic, which would open up worlds of possibility for us, is that needing help means that something is wrong with you.
How do you balance anger with joy while pushing for social change? EbonyJanice Moore, a womanist scholar and the founder of Black Girl Mixtape, dives into this complex dance in her conversation on the 'To Write Love on Her Arms' podcast. She opens up about the necessity of honoring her rage and finding joy, all while making space for rest. This episode is a raw, heartfelt exploration of mental health within the context of social justice.
Moore shares her personal healing journey and passionately believes that 'everybody needs therapy'. She touches on the importance of accessible mental health resources and how language has often been weaponized against marginalized communities. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough topics like toxic masculinity and the power of vulnerability. Moore also discusses dreams as acts of resistance and her fundraising efforts for Black Girl Mixtape.
If you're looking for an inspiring yet grounded discussion on mental health and social justice, this episode is a must-listen.
