This week’s episode is a heavy one—and an important one.
We’re joined by Kierra King @kierrakinggg whose TikTok (shared in the second slide) detailing a racist encounter in a California clinic went viral with over 10 million views. While many stood behind her, others dismissed her pain. Some even questioned if it was real—calling it a skit. But it wasn’t. It’s her real life.
What most people didn’t see? After that traumatic moment, Kierra sought care at another facility—only to be failed again. A coworker later joked about the situation to her face. And the original business? They still haven’t taken accountability.
As Black women, we’re constantly expected to stay calm—measured—even in the face of dehumanization. Because if we react with anything less than grace, we’re labeled “angry,” “classless,” or “aggressive.” And when things do happen to us, we’re gaslit into believing it’s somehow our fault.
But Kierra didn’t stay silent. And we’re so glad she didn’t. In this episode, she shares the entire story, and what it’s been like navigating overnight fame, disbelief, and the emotional toll of it all—and how she’s doing the work to heal beyond the viral moment.
We’re so grateful we got to know her, even if it wasn’t under ideal circumstances. Kierra is strong, grounded, funny, and such a light.
