Being fired is never just about losing a job—it’s about navigating the emotional, financial, and personal fallout. In this episode of Black. Queer. Unapologetic., I'm sharing a raw and honest reflection on the experience of being let go while living at the intersection of Black and Queer identities.

This episode is also about resilience, reclaiming your power, and redefining your narrative after a setback.

Tune in for an empowering conversation that reminds you: Being fired doesn’t define you—how you rise from it does.
