Ep. 12 - Self Love & Self Care

In a complex and turbulent world, everyday folks, BrownTown
included, find it increasingly difficult to take a step back and
find time for themselves. BrownTown discusses techniques,
introspective questions, and personal experiences dealing with
self care and self love. In order to put quality work and
positive energy out into the world, we must find ways to put
these into practice in our daily lives. As always, they tie
broader models for understanding and caring for oneself to
macro-level systems of oppression and privilege. While
acknowledging that self care and mental health are now in the
mainstream conversation, BrownTown points out the problematic
intersections with toxic masculinity and marginalization of Black
and Brown voices. Lastly, they shoutout some Chicago-based groups
that are fostering communities that encourage self love, self
understanding, and self expression. So remember, love yourself,
take care of yourself, understand yourself, and, most
importantly, TREAT YO'SELF!
