About A Black Girl's Survival Guide

From the publisher's feed

Hi, I’m Joy. I am a Black girl trying to figure out how to survive this thing called life. I made this podcast as a love letter and guide to black women across the country and world. We have to navigate this world so differently, so I want to share the things I learn along the way. I feature friends from all walks of life and backgrounds. We will talk about EVERYTHING. This is your guide to being whoever the fuck you want to be regardless of the obstacles in the way.
