Ep 4: With Love, in our Shared Struggle, with Michelle Courtney Berry

With Love, in our shared struggle: a conversation with Michelle Courtney Berry, an Ithaca based African American coach, businesswoman, and a formidable speaker and activist. We talk about activism while sheltering in place,  and self-care challenges, especially when doing anti-racist work. Then we get on our soapbox about the problems caused by the pressure to be “super mother” and how the mythology of the strong black superwoman affected her personal and professional life. We talk about how the discomfort of white women can be lethal to black men and women, and Michelle tells us the heartbreaking story of how racism lead to the stealing of an entire lake.  Michelle Courtney Berry is certified NLP Master Coach and Practitioner for Health and Wellness as well as an author, speaker, trainer, actor, performing artist, playwright, poet, humorist, and nature lover who helps improve the quality of people’s lives by helping them manage stress, time, conflict, and competing priorities. Michelle is a former Alternate Acting Mayor and Alderperson for the City of Ithaca, a former White House TV reporter, and she's is a 2x TEDx and SXSW speaker who has opened for Maya Angelou and the Dalai Lama. She holds a graduate degree in Organizational Behavior and Risk Communication from Cornell University. She is the Founder and CEO of her consulting company Courtney Consulting Enterprises, LLC.
