In this episode, I take you back to my teenage years when I wished I could be white. As a young girl, I was caught up in the comparisons and the rejection of my true self, not seeing the bigger picture or the beauty of my cultural differences that were right in front of me.

I share the raw vulnerability of 15-year-old Flora, navigating the complexities of growing up brown in the early 90s. It was a time filled with confusion and longing, but also with moments that shaped my journey towards self-acceptance.

Tune in to hear about my journey from wishing to be someone else to celebrating and embracing my unique cultural heritage. I also reflect on how I now view my parents with empathy and appreciation for the rich cultural tapestry they passed down to me.

This is a big one, we talk about identity, growth, and the power of embracing and celebrating who you are.
