We’re talking about boundaries; what’s needed to establish boundaries, maintain them, and why we need them. Maquita interviews Tunisia, a community humanitarian and philanthropist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor, the Co-founder of Shepherd’s Door Domestic Violence Resource Center, and the owner of Women, Wealth, Warriors Entrepreneurship, and Luncheon. She’s a joy to speak with, listen to, and interview. Enjoy!

“There is no consent when there is force, intimidation, or coercion,” – The Shepherd’s Door.

Easing into the new year with my homegirl Christyal, visual artist and poet, dc area police officer and mother of two boys, discussing how to and the importance of operating within the natural flow of who we were designed to be and the world around us.

This is So I Resigned Part 2, where Maquita Donyel discusses what life is like post resigning over 1.5 years later. She discusses the importance of letting go, healing, and coming face to face with what it looks like when you don’t. She also discusses the value she found in going through a challenge as opposed to over or around it. Mini joins this episode towards the end (sleepy) with something sweet to say.
