The One With Desiree B. Stephens
02/28/22 • 65 min
I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am for you to meet my next guest, the wonderfully authentic Desiree B. Stephens!
This is a longer episode and you’re going to hang on every word. We are talking about racial inequity, decolonization, systems of oppression, and the willingness to have necessary and important conversations around diversity, equity and inclusion. Desiree is also a celebrity (she’ll kill me for this) on TikTok and has created a huge following where she is disrupting and agitating people and their beliefs to bring people to a higher sense of understanding and healing. You’re absolutely going to LOVE the wisdom, history, and hard-hitting truths that she’s dropping.
Desiree B. Stephens is a decolonization spiritual counselor who creates communities that support the unfolding and unlearning of how we became who we are as a society. It is her goal to create true intersectional spaces that allow each of us to see the humanity in each other and create liberation from oppressive systems.
Desiree does this work through paradigm shifts, and creating new systems. She focuses on serving and helping others by working with the systems and processes that already exist and aiding her clients in creating new systems and thought patterns that will get you into a space of creating and manifesting what they desire.
Sit back and get ready to stop and rewind parts of this discussion—her wisdom and insight will touch your soul.
