Today, we’re closing out our book club series talking about a very underrated form of self care— hobbies—and how Black women, specifically, need to embrace them for their own wellbeing.
Tune in to learn about the research-backed benefits of hobbies and how regardless of your age or skill level, there are so many hobbies out there for you.
I also talk about…
- Re-evaluating why we’re seeking out another degree or business
- Digging deeper to see what areas we’re truly dissatisfied with
- The slippery slope from hobby to side-hustle
- Reading as an accessible and deeply beneficial hobby
- Reading what makes you feel joy, not just what you think you should
