What's up yall? This Sunday, I am joined by Sabrina, a digital media educator and Ph.D. scholar, who courageously shares her profound journey of self-discovery and unearthing her true racial background after years of misidentifying as Italian instead of black.

Sabrina takes us through her experiences growing up in predominantly white areas and the challenges she faced, including micro aggressions and the complex process of whitewashing. We delve into the concept of identity and how societal norms and expectations can shape and influence i.

We also address the significance of pivotal events, such as the tragic death of George Floyd, and their impact on shaping conversations about race and identity. Through Sabrina's story, we explore the concept of generational trauma and its lasting effects on individuals and families.

Furthermore, we confront the stark reality of the incarceration rate among marginalized communities and discuss its implications on the larger narrative of systemic racism.

This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of personal identity, societal constructs, and the importance of reclaiming and honoring one's true heritage. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding race and to join us in challenging the narratives that perpetuate whitewashing and erasure of black history.
