Vanessa then leads us in a jubilant lesson on celebration, teaching us how to honor ourselves and the communities that sustain us. Our favorite homegirls, Nyra, Renate, Yolanda, Sandria, and Trelani, join for a chorus of wisdom, gratitude, and laughter. And we lift the curtain to shine light on Tyreen and Jana of the GirlTrek team—the women who made this season possible with care, creativity, and hustle.

In this episode, Morgan opens with a foremother meditation honoring the legacy of 1936 Olympic track and field star Tidye Pickett, a trailblazer whose story deserves to be told. Vanessa and Morgan then have a powerful intergenerational dialogue with next-gen Nyra. Vanessa leads a transformative lesson on how to share power and build community across generations, offering insights on fostering meaningful connections with younger changemakers. And, of course, Nyra brings trekker testimonies that breathe even more life into the conversation. This episode invites us all to step into deeper solidarity across generations.

We continue, Next Gen Week, with Vanessa guiding trekkers through a powerful foremother meditation inspired by the wisdom and resilience of Afeni Shakur—activist, mother, and visionary. Through this reflection, we honor the strength of those who came before us and ground ourselves in their lessons. Then, Morgan leads an illuminating exercise on value-based decision-making, helping us navigate two of life’s biggest choices—career paths and life partnerships. How do we define what truly matters to us? And how can we align those values with the futures we build? This episode is a call to clarity, care, and conscious selection.
