Hey, Family!
Happy Fall! 🍁

Trauma, Accountability & Personal Responsibility w Coach Tracey. No matter what type of trauma you've experienced the one thing I know for sure is that healing is next to impossible without accountability & responsibility.
And I also know that the word 'responsibility' for many trauma survivors ruffles some feathers.
Let's talk about accountability & personal responsibility to get more clarity & understanding about their role in healing your trauma.

I'll never forget my 1st interview after I went natural September 2009.
It was for a sales position selling copiers alongside a bunch of whyte hetero cisgender males.
Well, I got the position but I was always wondering if & when someone was going to say something about my hair.
A few people were fascinated with how versatile my hair was and and a lot of folk found it to be 'exotic'.
According to the dictionary, the definition of exotic is:
1: introduced from another country : not native to the place where found - EX: exotic plants
2: strikingly, excitingly, or mysteriously different or unusual
- EX: exotic flavors
'Exotic' is the code word whyte folk use to define people who they deem as an outsiders aka an 'other'. In other words, you don't fit into their Western standard of beauty.
There 'harmless' statement isn't/wasn't a compliment by any means.
In fact, it is/was objectifying and also plays directly into the whyte man's sexist exotic fetish with BIWOC and upholds their biased & toxic 'so-called' professional standards.
Additionally, calling my hair 'exotic' basically reduced me to being like an animal from another continent at the zoo!
Calling a BIWOC “exotic” - even if it's her natural hair - is racist. It's also harmful because it can have a detrimental impact on how we're treated.
Despite the comments and their implications, I wore and still wear my natural hair with pride in the workplace/corporate arena and will continue to do so. And that's on period!
Sadly and thankfully, the C.R.OW.N. ACT (Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) was passed this year to 'protect' me and other BIWOC from race-based hair discrimination which is the denial of employment and educational opportunities because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including braids, locs, twists or bantu knots.
It still blows my mind that a law had to be passed so that I am not discriminated against for wearing the hair that naturally grows out of the follicles of my scalp. Darn shame!

How do you define professionalism & acceptability for yourself?

Ancestral Healing. Ancestral wounds are deep and many of us are carrying them for our ancestors and their wound(s) are not ours to carry.
I didn't realize I was carrying my grandmother's abandonment, Black sheep, not supported, not enough wounds.
Carrying her wounds are preventing me from living in my greatness, my freedom, my sovereignty.
What ancestral and or generational wounds are you carrying that don't belong to you?🤔

I've always been small and I never had an issue with my size.
But, a lot of folk in my family and others who didn't have to live in or with my body had a lot say about my size.
They'd say things like:
"You're so small. Go eat a burger to put some meat on your bones. A man want something they can hold onto."
Or,
"You're still skinny. When you gonna gain some weight?"
I would always have a rebuttal because I gotta mouth on me. Yet, they still got to me because deep inside I started to think something was wrong with me.
I started eating late at night to attempt to gain weight. It didn't work & I'm glad it didn't because I loved my body & my size.
After I grew up I realized that there comments about my body weren't about me.
They were projecting their body image insecurities onto me because it was easier to hurt someone else than deal with their own unhealed trauma wounds.
Sis, if you've been on the receiving end of comments like this please know you are beautiful just as you are.
Whatever your size or shape, love it, honor it. It's perfect!

Trauma, Dreams & Goals: T.E.A. Talks w Coach Tracey. Most people dream as little kids of becoming adults and doing their own thang!
A lot of us also dreamed of becoming doctors, lawyers, astronauts, business owners, the President, a ballet dancer and more.
Unfortunately, something happens along the way and our dream of becoming an adult comes to pass, but the other dreams get abandoned, denied, lost or hidden.
Let's talk about why this happens, what it looks like & how trauma and social conditioning rear their ugly heads.

Beautiful, do you have a difficult relationship with your mother?
Maybe you experienced one or more of the following:
✴ Abuse
✴ Ambivalence
✴ Competitiveness
✴ Control Issues
✴ Jealousy
✴ Narcissism
If so, sis, you may have a mother wound.
This manifests into our lives when the person who birthed you and or cared for you as your mother was supposed to protect you through your formative years couldn’t be there for you in the way you needed.
Your relationship with your mother is the foundation of where you developed your sense of identity and self worth.
So if you were / are expected to blindly worship her or do things for her in order to receive love (or she wasn’t present at all), you look for similar dynamics in every relationship you form.
Learn how to heal from this mother wound in my signature group coaching program, BEcoming ME!™.
We’ll work through my 5-step framework to support your healing & liberate you from parental wounds, ancestral trauma, limiting beliefs, self-sabotage and social conditioning that prevents you from living your best life.
