In this episode Adelai paints a very vivid picture of how ditching the mask and coming out of hiding saved her life. She speaks candidly about how she had to overcome the pressure to be impenetrable and secretive about her life. She takes a deep dive into how black women unknowingly nurture humanity without caring for themselves, and in many cases, without allowing themselves to be cared for.

Growing up with a single mom, Adelai found herself tied up and bound up in emotional turmoil. Growing up without a father meant growing up in a toxic environment for her. After years of the toxicity and fighting desperately to be STRONG in the midst of LIFE HAPPENING, she finally surrendered to being vulnerable and renewed here relationship with God on a more intimate level.
