People made fun of me not just at work but also in my family because I dont feel comfortable talking in front of a lot of people. I am working on my breathing now to calm down in these situations.

Very mean culture. Bullying others to feel powerful at workplaces. That doesnt help for people like me with social anxiety. Thanks for your content.

Picture it as a Y in the road and go the other way ❤❤❤❤ #replay

Such a great topic Marissa! Thanks for facilitating this conversation!!😊 #replay

Thank you for watching 🤎 Let us know, what has been your experience with social anxiety?

Having student loans has made the prospects of raising children and even buying a home in the US fundamentally unappealing to me. I was trying to pay monthly to qualify for PSLF, but with the SAVE Plan being put in a hold right now, my timeline is now delayed. I never want to owe other people money of any sort ever again. I’m done! 😭

Im so glad I got dual skills. No one job gets my loyalty

Never fit on either. I experienced trauma in the household very young and throughout my life. I was bullied and experienced betrayal over and over by so-called friends and adults. I never understood how people could be so hateful and hurtful at an early age. Things I couldn't change about myself to lies told on me, jealousy, etc. I never fit in even though I tried so much. A flower in the wrong soil. Those early years are very crucial to brain development and self esteem. The body also keeps score from the trauma.

Starting the Replay! Thank you both for having this conversation!!!!!

Lovely!!! Marissa, you're doing a good thing! 🙏🏾❤

🤗🤗🤗 Thank you!

Two of this platform's most enlightened and lovely women in the same place, we love to see it. Very salient and extremely relatable convo. Thanks for recommending my piece! 🤎

Not the mention the stress college causes overall. Nervous system is jacked up. Interpersonal relationships, attempting to be liked by everyone including professors. It can be too much. Too much pressure. Also college/universities are very political and agenda based especially private colleges. You don't understand this when you're young. They only care about their corporate donors and donors overall. Who every is giving up the money that's who they care about to please.

My family pushed me and pushed me to go to school. I had a job full school load and work study job. I had to quit college because I needed to work full time. My mom got sick and then a friends mom worked something out with the university to get me back in school. I was working 11pm to 7pm and attempting to go to school full time after working. I couldn't handle it and had to drop out. Private college that took me through hell as a young woman in poverty. I eventually went to city university years later to finish up and ended up with even more student debt. College left a bad taste in my mouth. Fast forward The black university will not give me my transcripts because they said i owe them for pell grant because i dropped out of school too late. So I didn't drop the classes in time. Smh....a damn shame and I explained to them my mom was sick I was totally depressed and I was working full time. They didn't give a damn about my distress. 😢

Hey! I'm in NC and I know where High Point is and High Point University 😂

Come oonnnn ladies 💖 Two of my favorite human beings having a conversation.❤ I love when Marissa said , We are paying to have knowledge that was stolen from us ! Thats a word ! That’s across all majors ! ❤ As far as my debt is concerned…. I’m wrapping up a Masters degree as we speak due to pressures I put on myself… I’m not paying the debt back. I’m just not.

I share very similar stories to both of you. Took a month to review a lot of the information from my experience and my financials. My story and my findings have been astonishing! I personally attended an HBCU. And the predatory nature of these loans from the onboarding to attendance, and the role the institutions and loan officers played the student NEVER stood a chance. I put together an 80-page document consisting of my research and my findings and sent it in for review by the loan servicers (during the School Misconduct dismissal) and they I don't believe performed a proper review. I plan to hold on to everything because I know at some point this issue has got to be addressed and institutions will eventually have to be held accountable along with loan servicers.

😢 oh no, I missed the live... Glad we're discussing this!!!

I am glad that this discussion is being had. I am currently a community college librarian, (making my exit) and I'm not worried about them loans. I believed in an idea that the library would be an inclusive space for all people to exchange information and learn "the people's university" however, on this journey from being a public librarian, to middle school and now college the library is a lonely place for black librarians and definitely not an inclusive space (from the inside). I am not ashamed that I believed in this institution, I have grown to understand who I am, and what the institution (the library is) and we don't fit...

As soon as I saw this I had to click on it 😊

Unfortunatelythis is my second rodeo of being the only “one” in my department and I’m experiencing all of this. Trying to come up with an escape plan.

The way all these videos are speaking to my soul!!!! The work you're doing cannot be overstated, Marissa 💛💛💛

I'm here for the replay, sis! #blkgrlmgclwyr #marissaprice

Good topic. Much needed topic.

This is a HUGE CONVO, thank you! Women overall, but especially Black women, must make a daily practice of empowerment/affirmation. "BIG Yourself UP EVERYDAY" I witness on a daily basis how women tend to feel so disempowered. We are unbelievable beings and need to know this to our CORE. Mirror affirmations helped me speak life into myself. Also reading, bell hooks, Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Alice Walker & Iyanla Vanzant. I listen to Black women.

Let us know, how are you healing from self-criticism? 🤎

The amount of times I've had to rewind this video only halfway through is crazy. This video got straight to the heart of the matter. Thanks so much, Marissa 💙

Marissa I'm catching the replay....you unpacked so much for me in this video...I'm going to do something I loved as a kid. I'm going bike riding!!! Thank you for reminding me that's it's ok to embrace ME, heal ME and say yes to ME! 🤸‍♀ 🏍 🤸‍♀

I appreciate your Videos! It’s helping me so much

How are my fellow (recovering) people pleasers doing? 🤎

❤

OMG. I've experienced this 100%. Love bombed to threat. My boss went from praising me for meeting sales goals to micromanaging me when I told her I was going to document her actions toward me as well. She DIDN'T like that I said that. I have a story. ❤ I'm excited to learn how I can possibly receive a severance package. Thank you for providing a safe space for us to share our traumatic experiences.

You ask poignant questions I find myself answering each one in my experience... don't forget the trauma of our ancestors that was never resolved Joy Degruey (sp?)... ptss...that slate needs to be cleared in my experience contemporaneously with our modern day trauma work Thank you for this vital conversation no one is having

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! 🥰💛🌸🫂💃🏾🪻🌹

Here for the replay! This is a beautiful conversation! #blkgrlmgclwyr #marissaprice #sisterhood 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

People are severely disturbed. I try to stay around people that make my life easier.💖
