The Hidden Cost of Holding It In
Maybe you learned early on not to speak too loudly.
Maybe you were told to be respectful, not disruptive.
To be agreeable, not assertive.
To be nice—even when you were hurting.
For many women of color, our voices were shaped by silence.
Silence in the classroom. Silence at the dinner table. Silence in relationships where our truth made others uncomfortable.
So we internalized the message: stay small, stay silent, stay safe.
But what happens when your silence starts to cost you your truth?
When Silence Becomes Survival
Silencing your voice to stay accepted or avoid conflict doesn’t make the truth disappear. It goes inward—and it festers.
Unspoken truths can show up as:
- Second-guessing yourself constantly
- Feeling anxious before speaking up
- Avoiding difficult conversations at work or in relationships
- Feeling invisible in spaces where you deserve to be heard
This isn’t over-sensitivity. It’s a survival response to a world that has dismissed your truth for too long.
Why Your Voice Is Sacred
Your voice is more than your words. It’s your boundary. Your desire. Your no. Your yes. Your truth.
When you begin to reclaim it, everything changes:
- You stop performing and start expressing.
- You stop tolerating and start choosing.
- You stop editing and start embodying.
Speaking your truth—out loud, on paper, in ritual, or in community—is a sacred act of reclamation.
