Alicia is powerful, bubbly, and shining, but that sparkle came at a cost. As a child, with no real rights and no voice, she learned to navigate the complexities of an abusive home and what could have been a life-crushing experience. She learned to survive—on her terms. Now, navigating through parenthood and a career in social justice, she must continue her journey to liberation and healing. If you are a parent, if you are a generational curse-breaker, if you are a survivor, this one’s for you. When Alicia sits down on her pink couch to recount her 40 years of life, she doesn't just share a story—she hands us the keys to her soul. We're given an unfiltered glimpse into her evolution from a young activist impassioned by a movie, to an adult deeply committed to justice and longing to leave a legacy of good ancestry. Her early endeavors to fight for what's right, illuminated by a candid reflection on her journey, encourage us all to be fully present in our pursuit of a better world. Tell Her This is a podcast of honest, heartfelt, and real stories from women and for women who live real lives and are as messy and complex as they are beautiful.  No advice. No self-help.
