The Loneliness of Being the 'Strong Black Woman' Nobody Worries About

"She's strong. She can handle it. She'll be fine."

But what if she's not? What if behind that strength is someone who's barely holding on – and nobody's even asking?
In this clip from our loneliness episode, dating coach Nikki addresses the painful reality many Black women face: being seen as so strong that your community assumes you're always okay, even when you're drowning. The very strength that's supposed to protect you becomes the reason no one checks on you.
In This Clip:
-Why being the "strong Black woman" means nobody asks if you're okay
-How your community's assumptions leave you suffering in silence
-The dangerous belief that strong women don't need support
-Why it's okay to not be okay – even if you're "the strong one"

This isn't about weakness. It's about the unfair burden placed on Black women to be everyone's rock while having no one to lean on themselves.
If this is you:
Your strength is real, but so is your pain. You don't have to carry everything alone. You deserve to be checked on, cared for, and supported – just like everyone else. It's not selfish to need help. It's human.

This clip is for:
✓ Black women tired of being strong for everyone else
✓ Anyone who feels invisible in their pain
✓ People whose community assumes they're "fine" when they're not
✓ Those learning to ask for support after years of giving it
