Hey GEMS! In this powerful and soul-nourishing episode of Diamonds from Darkness, we’re talking about something every Black woman needs and deserves: community. Host Syrie D. gets real about the emotional weight we carry—and why we were never meant to carry it alone.

From the mental health benefits of connection to the cultural legacy of sisterhood, this episode is a deep dive into the healing, strength, and joy that supportive networks can bring. Whether it’s a sister circle, a sorority, a church family, or a group chat that keeps you grounded—community is more than a vibe, it’s a lifeline.

You’ll hear:

• Why isolation can be dangerous for your mental health
