Understanding and accepting your identity is key to finding confidence and strength in yourself.
In this week's episode, we're speaking to Hakeem S. Allen. Hakeem is the Founder of The Anti-Racist Social Club which works to create spaces and resources for education and open dialogue with White people and non-Black POC about becoming anti-racist (www.theantiracistsocial.club). In this role, he spends countless hours sharing his lived experiences through original content and the workshops he leads in organisations and businesses.
As a gay Black male, growing up in a conservative military suburb in America led to a mixture of confusion, bullying, anxiety, depression, and ultimately loneliness. Looking back at the memories that shaped his childhood, we discuss the emotional scars that shape our mindset and identity in our later years. In this fascinating episode we discuss growing up without a sense of belonging, the long-term damage bullying causes, the importance of vulnerability (especially in men), how language shapes us, and embracing your identity and celebrating your true self. A must-listen for anybody struggling to come to terms with or communicate their true identity.
