I am white and retired but I did not and do not cover my ears or eyes. I have been livid at the results of the election and can not speak to friends and family who did vote for that wicked tribe of people. I hear you and believe you but I feel a little like you point your finger at me for my whiteness. I am thank you for speaking to that. I honestly do not understand those white women and they do not listen to those of us white women who stand with you. These whites women are afraid to be strong on their own because they depend on their men. I had nothing to do with my color but I do have everything to do with the choices I make as a human in this place I live. I told my white neighbor that I am angry and I won’t stop being angry that so many were so stupid in putting those people in there.
Hi Erika and Eva! Of everything discussed, I feel the assignment was easy! For a myriad of reasons, but just as a woman…for goodness sake! I guess where you stand really does depend on where you sit. I appreciate both of you and this conversation and understanding. Your Sunday reflections are my new jam!
Very thought provoking session today. My Mother used to say, (Those that do not listen-learn.) so true! I don’t understand these white women that voted for and support getting their rights taken away. How much misery 45 has caused and more that he will heap on our heads now is yet to be seen. Thank you for introducing your lovely guest and spending time with us today.❤
Here’s the thing! Kamala didn’t lose because of votes…but because of the fraud. That was the shock! Regardless I appreciate both of you for speaking up! 💓
As a reader, I am really glad to see more black women in the spiritual space. Loved this convo. ❤ I did talk to one of my white girlfriends about speaking to other women in her circle, and her response was defensive. She said she'd deleted some FB friends, then went silent when I pushed that convos might help more than cutting people off.
Great messaging, conversation, and reminder - rest, bodies hurting - go through the stages of grief. Respect physical, mental, and emotional as you deal with this; let things play out without judgment. It is ok for me to go within and to heal and release. I know this will help me decide how to respond and with what actions. I imagine there will be a lot of this for me in the coming years. Knowing how to respond and decide on actions comes from a place of strength. I will have to remind myself that now is the time I do not have to do or be everything for everybody. Take care of myself - first and foremost. Stay informed of what is said and unsaid. Take care of myself and then decide. Lots of food for thought with today's message and guest. I can't wait for next Sunday.
This has been a wonderful conversation! Thank you, both, for this frank, grounded interchange and for really communicating wth each other. Shout out to my sister Virgos! I've been thinking about my white sisters a lot lately. Specifically, the divide between college educated and not. Which also involves class, either before or after the education. There's a lot of rage, resentment, disdain in the chasm between. There's also a domestic violence gap. I've straddled that divide my entire 7 decades. So am thinking this is where I can put some effort, with respect, with affection, with humor. The idea has been germinating since the election. This conversation grew the seedling some. Thank you. The seances appeal to me, so thanks for giving the email.
So Powerful Erika, thank you for frank conversation and for inviting Eva Yaa Asantewaa. Yes we need to all (white women) hear your message. Explaining "pulling the lever for the right outcome", the monolith, our people, the outrageous number of white women voting against Kamala, our responsibility as whites to own and make changes to our collective positions that have brought enormous consequences. Agree with you and Eva on all points. I am sorry Erika and Eva for our part of the shambles we are in. The task is formidable but opening our eyes has to happen for change to come. Legacy media is owned by billionaires and has agenda certainly. I had been watching Kamala's campaign and was excited to watch MSNBC on election night. Welp, millions have turned it off now and Comcast is removing it from their stable and I hear it will also have to change its' name. Naked indeed we are. One question I am hoping you would possibly explore are the reasons 33% of eligible voters did not vote. Who are these people? Yes there is gerrymandering and many reasons vote is suppressed; it feels almost hopeless at this point. Some countries have required voting like Australia and even if they enter the booth to vote they can slide with a non-answer or skip choices but they do have to show up and choose (or not choose) consciously. In America we have agreed to required jury duty and I feel this is similar.
I’m an old white woman and agree with you two 💯! And I know other white women who won’t feel a bit of guilt for white treachery! I don’t understand It. It isn’t a good feeling but the history, is we (whites) did this! All I can say is I am ashamed of what my race did to you and to Indians! Not to mention what we’ve done to Mother Earth! Please forgive us as far as you can. I love you and appreciate your readings and insight and inspiration!

White women have been pitted against each other for a long time. Looks ,money ,prestige, who they have married. They don't know how to work with each other without suspicion of each other. I have been watching handing over their power to others, needing to be fixed by others. I have learned over my lifetime to stand in my own power, it takes self awareness, and hard work . I am a white woman and hope that others will stand up ,own their own power and authority without needing to look for validation from others .
You not talking to family does not further the conversation that needs to be furthered. I understand that it is hard. It’s important to do, nonetheless.
Beautifully put and I can say that in my short life of 73 I have met so many white women with your outlook on life which makes this conversation so much more difficult. God Bless!
The % margin by which Donald Trump won the popular vote is one of the smallest in history. Since the 1800s I believe. People are assuming she didn’t win because she’s a woman and because she’s biracial but I don’t fully believe that. She only had 3 months to campaign yet she and Trump both got a little over 70 million votes. It was still a very close election. He didn’t even win the swing states by that much. Same thing happened in 2016.
American's do not even take the time to get to know their neighbours. As a Canadian of Caribbean roots , we experience such ignorance from American visitors. When they visit the Carribean they display a lack of curiosity and much stereotyping. Real inward looking, not globally aware.
Hi Erika, another great video and amazing content. Eva is a really strong personality. Harping on the 52% is going to do more harm than good. There is a golden opportunity to reach out to the 52% with your God given intellect which will carry more weight. Your outrage is warranted but love conquers all. Even the 52%. Outrage needs to be tempered so that you don't lose subscribers😊
My space, my rules. My guests are entitled to their opinions, as are you. If I can comfort the afflicted here, and afflict the comfortable, I will have achieved my purpose.
I am a white woman and I don't understand why the white woman voted for the right I live in a small town , I think my husband and I are for Harris Here no one talks politics cause it never goes well
Still pondering & crying in my soul on all the facuets of losing this golden opportunity election. I'm am still thoroughly hurt, angery & disgusted with my white sisters in voting against ALL women on the misogyny parts, especially on the reproductive & abortion issues but also NOT recognizing & supporting a black woman (and a white man) who was for ALL women, ALL men, ALL peoples. The ongoing, deep-seated fear of women, especially powerful black women, just continues to astound me, because I have moved so far foward in my own personal journey, my small & larger family's journey in being an open, accepting family of all shades of race, sexuality/gender issues, political viewpoints, and more. Tho, there are still a few rough & tough areas on these fronts with extended family, too. But at least we talk and really try to understand the whats & whys & wherefors of these things, individually & collectively. Outside the family, I live in a deeply-rooted, heavily populated red-neck,45 supporting state. Talking with my childhood, high school, college, former work colleagues is & always has been challenging for me, even with liberal friends. I joke that I'm left of Marx, but I am not blind or unreasonable, or unforgivable, in the context the the "real" world, what may or may not work, the very really difficulties & challenges of my friends & neighbors, and more. I push & prod. I appeal to reason, economic gains & sacrifices & corruption against all classes except the uber rich, the deeper religious interpretations, meanings, purposes & practices, the nefarious & intentional political practices across the board, especially 45, MAGA & his/ its ilk, the cowardly & go-along practices of the "normal" GOP, and admit I give the Ds more credit & support on most issues, at least currently, the abhorrent corruption of the SC, etc. I have been unfollowed, unfriended by some family & friends and blocked by others. Fine. I do what I can, when I can, where I can, with who I can. I have been called a rebel, a rabble-rouser, a Communtist, a FemininNazi, an incorrigible women's libber, too independent, too open & accepting, to naive (Ha), and more. Fine. I can accept most of those things. Some things, societal things, most societal things, take small, arduous, ongoing steps over the long haul. Sometimes big wins happen over night, or so it serms. I've been in it & will remain in it for the long hual. I'll die in it. And not just or only because of the next & next & next generations, but because IT IS WHO I AM! And I stopped apolizing for who and what I am a long time ago. So enjoyed the conversation & look forward to meeting & getting to know you & your larger community of friends, colleagues, and comrades in arms. Not keen on the word comrade only because of the misuse & misinterpretations & historical assignments of the word, but I can't think of another, better, term at the moment. Maybe companions on the journey.

Erica absolutely adored your conversations on Sundays.
Thank you for the interview. Really appreciate all you do.
I was not shocked, nor surprised that she lost...just sad, mad and fed up. I feel better today. Thank you for this. You both are beautiful.
I believe that Harris won
But Elon musk did something to get trump to win
I really believe this
Thank you for two for sharing. Appreciate you both.
Thankk you, Thank you. I love this community❤
I thoroughly appreciated this conversation. So, insightful. More Please. Thanks!
Here’s the thing! Kamala didn’t lose because of votes…but because of the fraud. That was the shock!
Regardless I appreciate both of you for speaking up! 💓
I agree they threw out votes, prevented votes from getting to be tabulated, contested people who voted and stole software in tabulation machines.
Thank you, Erika. So, glad to be part of this community and really like this Sunday time.
Happy to have you!

We have to teach other white women somehow!!! But I fear this is the end of America! I hope I’m wrong. What’s going to be left???
I am a white woman and I don't understand why the white woman voted for the right
I live in a small town , I think my husband and I are for Harris
Here no one talks politics cause it never goes well
Not think we are
We are for Harris

So do you think white women identify MORE with their color than their gender or ideologies?
