In this episode of The Road to Adulthood, we are focusing on insecurities and how our perception of these has changed over time. Self-confidence and self-esteem are two of the many values we strive to convey through our podcast, and so we thought it would be interesting to examine what makes us feel less about ourselves, and more importantly, how we can reach a point of self-acceptance. We also mention an article written by the wonderful Carol Altimas which you should definitely check out: https://thewokefolk.wixsite.com/magazine/post/_afro. The episode will cover our views on this subject during our childhood, teenage-hood, and new-found adulthood. As a disclaimer for all episodes, the views expressed are our own and are not affiliated with any institution or organization to which we belong.  We are not experts, and we base our opinion on our personal experiences. For this episode, we would like to add a trigger warning for anyone who has or is still suffering from issues related to insecurities, body image, lack of self-confidence or any other related issue. We hope you enjoy!
