As I reflect on my first thirty years of life  I examine all areas of my life in order to move forward and to uplift my sisters as we climb  leaving not one behind.  I love nothing more than being a Black woman. To be a Black woman  one must explore the intersection of race and gender  or be crushed by them. To be a Black woman  one must understand the paradoxes that exist in the history of Black women  or else fall victim to them. A woman once praised and revered as the creator of all of humankind is now religiously hated  diseased and disrespected. Ive come to learn and understand these truths in order to know my self and my place in this world. I had to learn where we have been in order to help shape where we will go in the future.  Ive come to understand how society works in such a way to limit the creation of Black women; our art and offspring. These systems can often prevent us from reaching our highest potential and cause us to pass down centuries of hurt  trauma  and anguish to future generations. After learning about these systems and how they have affected my life  I was able to work on reversing the psychological damage and despair that I had inherited  learned  and created  by holistically consuming cannabis. This is my journey to discovering the medicinal benefits of cannabis and supporting women along the way.  The Cannabis Doula is the transparent enlightenment of my own rebirth. It journeys through the first 30 years of my life  exposing societal ills and offering healing and inspiration through essays  poetry  journal entries  blogs  letters and self-reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965879775285,"sku":"ByrdShop_0578805391","price":452.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780578805399.jpg?v=1770548067","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-cannabis-doula-the-transparent-enlightenment-of-my-own-rebirth","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
