Welcome to Black Girl Burn Out with Kelley. Today I want to talk to you about love and the myths that define why we repeatedly attract less than desirable partners. We are going to focus on opting-out of the societal programming that binds us to struggle in our love lives. I know that you have heard the phrase, love is blind, or love hurts. Unfortunately, belief in those phrases can result in us turning a blind eye to glaring and harmful flaws. To be clear, this process will not be easy, but it will be worth it. Here is my question to you, are you ready to learn how to move forward, identify the struggle and address it by asking clear and concise questions? Let’s talk about it.Feel free to join the Amplify Voices Community. Text your questions and comments to +1 (310) 582-5216. We would love to hear from you.

Welcome to Black Girl Burn Out with Kelley. Today I want to talk to you about Opting Out of Silence. In many ways, American Culture encourages abuse-related silence. Medical professionals often don’t even believe Black Women when they speak up about their pain. However, the time has come for us to amplify safe environment assistance programs whereby Black Women can feel safe to speak out about verbal abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault. If you or someone that you care about is silently enduring pain, this episode is for you. Violence against Black Women is not just historical, going back to times of slavery, but at present a very real problem. Let’s talk about it.Feel free to reach out to me.
