In this week’s episode, I dive into the often-misunderstood topic of Black women and our boundaries.

Why is it that when we assert our standards, it’s seen as a threat or a problem? I unpack the societal pressures that demand we shrink ourselves to make others comfortable and explore the cultural, historical, and personal reasons why this dynamic exists.

From relationships to work and wider culture, I reflect on the strength it takes for us Black girls to set and maintain boundaries, and why we should never apologise for protecting our peace. Hope you enjoy.
