In this episode, not only do I get to catch up with a good friend of mine, but also a fellow entrepreneur, someone whose determination and self-acceptance continues to push me. Kiara's story is multi-faceted, as are most, but specifically hers’ involves the combination of queerness and blackness. Growing up in a family that elicited fear and shame towards gayness, Kiara had to learn how to set the necessary boundaries to truly sink into herself, to love the parts of her that she felt pulled to push away. Through her struggles, I hope to profess to you the importance of setting boundaries and distancing yourself from those who seek to shame you, even if they are people who you truly love and care about. And with that, let’s get Ellavated!
