The village didn’t disappear. It just got busy. Overwhelmed. Isolated.
I sat down with on the Autism in Black Podcast and we talked about what it really looks like to call the village back to the table for our Black autistic children and families.
This one is for the parents doing it alone, the providers who want to do better, and the community members wondering where they fit in.

October 2023. An electrical fire broke out in the house my family was staying in. A few things that were plugged in either melted or blew. Nobody was home. We were okay.

But while the fire department was inside, I remember sitting outside looking at all of it thinking… WHAT now?

That moment didn’t break me. It redirected me. I couldn't help but crack a smile. That smile wasn’t because everything was fine. It was because I knew Who was STILL in control.

Now that you've gotten the diagnosis. Now that the divorce is underway or completed. Now that you've been laid off. Now that the door closed and hit you where the good Lord split you. WHAT NOW?

Your presence is a present. 🎁

I am speaking at the Autism in Black Summit March 6th through 8th and I need you there.
My session is called “Your Presence at the Table: Black Men’s Voices in the Village” — and it is for every Black man who has ever wondered if he is doing enough, showing up enough, or matters enough in the life of an autistic child.
You do. The research says so. And this session is going to prove it.
We are talking about:
✅ The history that was built to keep Black men out of these spaces
✅ The myths we inherited about care, presence, and what it means to be a Black man
✅ Three real roles any Black man can step into right now
✅ How to fill your own cup so you can keep showing up
This summit is FREE or All Access. No excuses. 😊

I became a therapist because I never saw one who looked like me growing up. And now, as a mom to a nonverbal child who communicates through an AAC device, I’m more passionate than ever about making sure mental health has a seat at the table for ALL of us.
Because mental health is real. It deserves to be prioritized. And the battlefield? It’s in the mind. All ages. All demographics. Every city. Every state.
Even my son deserves the language to express not just what he needs physically, but what he feels emotionally. We’re on that journey together, and I’m here for it.
If no one told you today, your mental health matters. 💙

Dr. King didn’t power through his breaking point. He stopped.
January 1956. Death threats were constant. One night, exhausted and afraid, he sat at his kitchen table with a cup of coffee and prayed: “Lord, I am at the end of my powers. I have nothing left. I can’t face it alone.”
And God met him there.
That moment became the foundation for everything that followed. Not because he pushed harder. But because he surrendered.
Grace over grind isn’t weakness. Sometimes it’s the only way forward.
Happy MLK Day. 🤍

The cultural expectation problem.

Why Black women and women of faith struggle most with setting boundaries.

Let me explain:

In many Black families, survival depended on collective unity. You showed up. You sacrificed. You held it together, no matter what. Individual needs came last because the community came first.

That was adaptive. That was necessary. That kept us alive.

But what worked for survival doesn't always work for thriving.

Add faith communities where "forgiveness" is weaponized and "honoring your parents" means accepting mistreatment, and you get this:

An entire generation of high-achieving women who are EXCEPTIONAL at showing up for everyone else and terrible at protecting themselves.

We're taught:
- Boundaries = selfishness
- Self-care = weakness
- Asking for help = failure
- Saying no = betrayal

So we perform. We perfect. We people please.

And we wonder why we're exhausted. We're successful on paper but unfulfilled

Here's what I tell my clients and what I'm finally practicing myself:

You can honor your culture AND evolve beyond what hurt you.
You can respect your elders AND reject toxic patterns.
You can love your community AND protect your peace.

Generational trauma doesn't heal by repeating it. It heals by choosing differently.

Boundaries aren't rejection of your roots. They're protection of your future.

If you grew up in a culture where boundaries were seen as betrayal, this is your permission slip: You're not betraying anyone by choosing yourself.

Who needed to hear this today?

"How do I set a boundary without feeling guilty?"

You don't.

Here's what no one tells you about boundaries:

You're going to feel guilty at first. That guilt is decades of conditioning telling you that your needs don't matter as much as other people's comfort.

That guilt is your nervous system adjusting to a new normal.

That guilt doesn't mean you're wrong. It means you're doing something different.

So here's the reframe:

Guilt isn't a stop sign. It's growing pains.

The question isn't "How do I avoid guilt?" The question is "What do I do WITH the guilt?"

Here's what:
1. Name it: "I feel guilty because I'm prioritizing myself. That's new. It's uncomfortable. And it's necessary."

2. Fact-check it: "Whose voice is this? Is this MY value system or someone else's expectations?"

3. Act anyway: "I'm allowed to feel guilty AND still honor my boundary."

4. Let time do its work: The more you practice, the less guilt you'll feel. I promise.

Boundaries without guilt only come AFTER you've practiced boundaries WITH guilt.

So if you're feeling bad about that boundary you just set? Good. That means you're doing the work.

Keep going.

What boundary are you practicing this week?

TAKE A DEEP BREATH BEFORE YOU READ THIS:

Forgiveness doesn't require continued access.

Read that again.

You can:
- Forgive someone AND not invite them back into your life
- Honor your parents AND set boundaries with them
- Love someone from a distance AND protect your peace
- Be a good person AND refuse to be someone's emotional dumping ground
- Release someone with grace AND never look back

The cultural expectation problem hits different when you're a high achiever in Black and faith communities.

We're taught that boundaries = betrayal. That forgiveness means letting people back in. That "real Christians" keep showing up no matter how much it costs.

"But that's family!"
"You need to forgive and move on!"
"Blood is thicker than water!"
"What would Jesus do?"

Here's what that misses:

Forgiveness is for YOU. It releases YOU from carrying their actions.
Boundaries are also for YOU. They protect the peace God gave you to steward.

These two things can AND SHOULD coexist.

Jesus forgave. He also withdrew when people tried to manipulate Him AS WELL AS when He just needed a moment of solitude. He also overturned tables when necessary. He also told even His closest friends "get behind me" when they tried to derail His purpose.

He loved people AND He protected His mission. He lived a self less life while also living a self preserving one!

Boundaries aren't un-Christian. They're wise stewardship of the life and calling you've been given.

So here's your permission slip today:

You can forgive AND still say no. You can heal AND still create distance. You can honor someone's humanity AND still protect yourself from their harm.

Grace doesn't mean giving people unlimited access to hurt you.

What boundary are you finally ready to set?

Comment below. Let's normalize this conversation in faith spaces.
