Growing up, comedian, community organizer, and activist Jessieca McNabb dealt with conflict the best way she knew how: by fighting. Older and wiser now, Jessieca shares how processing the hurt behind her rage helped her find a new way to deal with conflict…and racist old ladies.
The last blow I struck, I kicked her in her face with some steel-toed boots on… And I saw my friend, one of my very best friends, look at me like she didn’t know who I was. At that moment I decided that was not the type of person I wanted to be. I let go of the violent part and had to figure out a different way to channel my anger.
