Welcome to our unfiltered corner of the net, created by me, Africa Brooke. In a worldly sense, I am a globally acclaimed consultant, mentor, speaker, writer, and artist.

#092 - Storytelling as resistance, wild tea, deep friendship, and fighting to remember - w/ Rui Liu
Oh my goodness. This conversation is everything I needed, and more.

Like last week, this conversation is personal. It’s present. And it’s pulled straight from the patterns I’ve had to face, and some I’m still facing, in real time.

I am practicing…

I know there's a sense of hopelessness in the world right now, and to be very honest, there always will be. And something that I want to do here is I don't want us to deny reality. That is not what we do. And at the same time, I want you to look at the areas of your life where you are in the driver's seat. In this episode, I want to impart my wisdom, experiences, and intellectual property and…
