In this episode of Say It Proud, titled “UnLearning Silence: How Black Daughters Break Cycles of Trauma,” we explore the theme “Resilience Beyond Survival.” This conversation centers on what it means to move past simply enduring hardship and instead step into healing, growth, and transformation across generations.
Featuring Trish Marcano, a St. Louis native, advocate, and Senior Subcontractor CCIP Compliance Manager at Clayco, alongside her daughter, Aliyah Marcano, founder of Layers of Luxury and an architecture student at Ranken Technical College, this episode offers a powerful look into the dynamics of motherhood and daughterhood.
Together, they reflect on inherited silence, evolving relationships, and the ways resilience shows up not only in struggle, but in love, vulnerability, and intentional change.
This episode invites listeners to consider how cycles are passed down, how they can be challenged, and what it truly means to break them.
