Giving You Your Flowers
Alexa Lawson
A confident space for black women (women of color). A confidence space for black women and women of color. Here we share our stories, growth, love, knowledge and more without the filter. A place for us to be confidently heard and not mislabeled as aggressive. In the space we create the confidence to show up as you AUTHENTICALLY and continue to remember / reclaim all of the power in being your amazing, beautiful, self. A bit of a warning I can't promise that you will not be moved, triggered, euphoric or anything in between but trust that you can express confidently! Smell the orchids.

Ep. 1 Family Gatherings - hot sauce isn't the only thing causing high blood pressure!
It's getting hot again and the pandemic (presumably) is loosening up its grips. Public places are opening, inflation has gas prices at an arm and two legs  per gallon and people are gathering everywhere! Summer 2022 I'm thinking we can get back to park and family barbecue's....but before I commit tell me who's coming...  Some of our "fondest" memories are from our family gatherings, but who else wonders..."who's invited?" before officially making the plans to commit to family events. There is a level of awareness that comes from disassociating yourself from the continual toxic notions we may enable in some of our family dynamics. You do not deserve it and you know it and for that, here are your flowers!  Like what you hear?
