Hey Sis, hey! I'm Grace Sandra; a single Mama of 3, Writer & Activist/Advocate.

On my channel, unfiltered Black womanhood meets storytelling, culture, activism & the fight to stay human in a world that forgets our humanity. This is a safe space for Black women to be centered + cherished.

I’ll be diving into news, our nervous system, and the narratives that shape our lives — from personal survival stories to social commentary, media analysis, and the messy truth of becoming. I love to share my personal stories, my lived experience & training to make sense of what’s happening around us and within us. It’s documentary-style storytelling with a cultural lens and a survivor’s heart. ❤️‍🩹

Everything I do is for the Black girls who weren’t supposed to make it, the ones trying to reassemble themselves & wanna understand & heal the world through a sharper, more honest lens.

Hit subscribe and come survive — and thrive — with me. Welcome to the fam!


OUT HERE TRYNA SURVIVE

There was a moment recently where I realized I was afraid to reject a man… not because of his feelings...but the BIGGER issues.

That realization opened up a much bigger conversation for me about safety, trust, and something I’m starting to question deeply…

…the idea that men are here to protect us.

Have you felt that shift, even a little? I think this episode will resonate. 🫶🏽

OUT HERE TRYNA SURVIVE

Y’all! I just posted my 50th episode with 50 lessons in my 50th year! 🎉 (my 50th bday is at the end of the year)

Not a single one of these I learned through doing things the “right way” 😩 most of it was through heartbreak & survival mode & CHOOSING to grow + evolve through trauma.

As trauma survivor, who grew up in purity culture I had to UNLEARN everything I was taught about sex, healing, and what it means to be a woman. And now as a divorced, Black woman, single Mom starting almost everything over.

So in this episode, I decided to say it all out loud:

50 lessons I’ve learned about sex, healing, and survival.

Some of them are low hanging fruit, some of them are uncomfortable.
Some of them… I really needed to know learn decades ago. 😩

If you’ve ever felt like:
– you’re still figuring yourself out
– you’re healing but still struggling
– you’re learning things MUCH later in life that nobody prepared you for

This one is for YOU, Sis. 🤎

Lemme know which lesson hit you the hardest. 👀

A grown man said a 16-year-old girl was “old enough to get it”… and somehow the internet is blaming HER? 🤦🏽‍♀️ This episode turned into something deeper than I expected.
If this conversation has been on your timeline, I’d love for you to watch and tell me what you think.
