In this season finale of Unapologetically First Gen, we sit down with Lesley’s mother-in-law, Soledad Boyd, for an intimate and unfiltered conversation about coming out later in life, navigating Black and queer identity, and what it really means to live unapologetically.

We talk about:

• What it was like to come out in her 50s after raising three kids
• Queerness in a white male–dominated LGBTQ+ scene
• Pride vs. corporate pride
• Blackness, visibility, and generational unlearning
• Why her grandkids won’t grow up with the same shame she carried
• And the joy (and challenge) of dating as a queer woman in Boston

This one is layered, funny, heartbreaking, and beautifully honest. A powerful end to the season and the perfect listen for Pride Month and Juneteenth.
