Brittany Janay affirms her truth in this week's episode: "America does not deserve Black people." The heaviness of national and local news related to the murders of Black life calls on her to affirm all that we are deserving and worthy of: love, community, joy, pleasure, ease, remembering and returning to ourselves. In response to a world where systems of oppression and injustice would have us feeling as though we are less than or defective, she ends sharing a Liberated Love Note voiced by someone who is special to her... reminding us that "we are enough."

Brittany Janay reminds us that we deserve to imagine and create beyond the limitations of this world, these systems, whiteness, and the projected limitations of others. This week she shares a liberated love note that came to her after a good night's rest, yet again experiencing the power of rest and stillness. She invites us to sit at the feet of one of our ancestors, Audre Lorde, as she reads a passage from "Poetry is Not Luxury," which connects back to her invitation to imagine.. create... feel. There's a lot going on in our worlds and the world. Sometimes remembering the wisdom of the past is a form of self-care, restoration for the present.    Check out the Liberated Love Notes IG page. https://bit.ly/3BJPbIx You can connect with Brittany on LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter. http://bit.ly/2Wmveq6 https://bit.ly/3vA2qso https://bit.ly/2QcqUZk Check out her personal website. https://bit.ly/3g4WgMu Learn more about Liberated Love Notes. https://bit.ly/3trVuge

Brittany Janay invites us to consider, "Who is on my spiritual, ancestral board of advisors?" She shares a story where she reflects on a big decision she had to make and the human inclination to seek out advice without attention to ourselves, our spirit and divinity. Though it is valuable to seek support from those with whom we are in community, too much advice can cause what she refers to as intrapersonal confusion. Brittany shares a divine download she experienced and invites us to affirm and remember: "In our stillness, we have access to divine wisdom and energy."   Check out the Liberated Love Notes IG page. https://bit.ly/3BJPbIx You can connect with Brittany on LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter. http://bit.ly/2Wmveq6 https://bit.ly/3vA2qso https://bit.ly/2QcqUZk Check out her personal website. https://bit.ly/3g4WgMu Learn more about Liberated Love Notes. https://bit.ly/3trVuge

Brittany Janay is back this week with a reflection and something like a call to action: When we are gifted with the opportunity to mentor, sponsor and lead others, we must see it as divine stewardship, a love practice. We must unlearn colonial mindsets that impede our capacity to see those we lead as fully human and disrupt toxic American norms that suggest their can only be “one” of us. We must avoid interpreting others’ expansion as an affront to us. Brittany affirms… We must choose love over indifference when another’s light shines.

Brittany Janay acknowledges the divinity of this past week and month, as some of us reflect on the resurrection of Jesus or participate in Ramadan. She processes and reflects on one of her life transitions and connects it to the spirit of Good Friday, a day of death and mourning but also a portal to new life and a new way. Brittany shares her reflections on a question she was asked recently, "How do you cope with the harm you may experience in community with other Black folks?" It just hit different. She shares her thoughts on the difference between "closure" and "peace," being led by your spirit vs. your trauma. Brittany ends with an affirmation ... something like a divine petition that calls for loving accountability and reimagining how we show up in loving community.  Check out the Liberated Love Notes IG page. https://bit.ly/3BJPbIx You can connect with Brittany on LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter. http://bit.ly/2Wmveq6 https://bit.ly/3vA2qso https://bit.ly/2QcqUZk Check out her personal website. https://bit.ly/3g4WgMu Learn more about Liberated Love Notes. https://bit.ly/3trVuge

Brittany Janay welcomes us back to the second season of the Liberated Love Notes podcast and invites us into what she describes as her own season of transition. Brittany reintroduces herself, and asks us to reflect on the same: Who are you [beyond what you do]? Who are you from? How is that different from how you may have responded last year? Brittany ends with a journal entry that she penned to process transitions, endings and beginnings, affirming "Just because it didn't last forever doesn't mean it wasn't good."

Brittany Janay ends this season in a posture of gratitude and love, reminding us that we are somebody's answered prayer and wildest dream. As the year comes to an end, we might get a bit distracted by all the things we didn't accomplish or resolutions we might set for the year to come. Brittany reminds us that our just BEing is someone's answered prayer, our ancestor's wildest dream. And... that is worth celebrating. In the spirit of celebration, she ends this episode and season with one of her favorite poems by Lucille Clifton.  Check out the Liberated Love Notes IG page. https://bit.ly/3BJPbIx You can connect with Brittany on LinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter. http://bit.ly/2Wmveq6 https://bit.ly/3vA2qso https://bit.ly/2QcqUZk Check out her personal website. https://bit.ly/3g4WgMu Learn more about Liberated Love Notes. https://bit.ly/3trVuge

Brittany Janay pulls three cards from the Liberated Love Notes deck this week that take her back to the origin story of Liberated Love Notes. She reflects on how her own personal experiences, learnings, unlearnings led her to create ,and she uses this to affirm the divine purpose of our experiences. In other words, whatever we are going through in our present can be and will be used for the greater good of the collective. Our ancestors are also a reminder of this. This week, Brittany affirms and calls on us to remember that the future needs you ...needs us.
