ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when Black women choose to pause in a world that expects us to grind?In this powerful episode of Reclaiming Sisterhood, Kim Casey sits down with author, former civil rights attorney, and former CEO Darlene Hightower to explore rest as resistance. Together, they unpack the weight Black women carry—leading, sustaining, excelling—and the radical act of reclaiming time, energy, and alignment.
Darlene shares her journey of walking away from a high-powered leadership role to protect her health, rediscover her creativity, and redefine success on her own terms. This conversation dives into grind culture, guilt, legacy-building, stillness, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.
Because rest isn’t laziness. It’s liberation. And when Black women are rested, we don’t just survive—we transform everything.
