what are we carrying?
listen now!
Have you ever been talked over in a meeting—and later found yourself replaying the moment, wondering why you stopped speaking?
In this Espresso Talk, we move beyond what happened in the room and look at what we carried into it—and what we carried out.
Following Before I Finished Speaking and I Stayed This Time, we explore:
how we are socialised, especially through race, to move in certain ways
how those patterns become internalised—automatic and often invisible
why silence can feel protective, while still leaving us carrying more than we should
This isn’t about blame or fixing ourselves.
It’s about understanding what we’ve learned to carry—and beginning to restore.

If this resonates, share it with someone who might need it too.

You ain't imagining this!
