Soph Say It With Your Chest

In this follow-up to Part 1, I explore the ache of wanting to be seen by the woman who raised me. As a masculine-presenting, queer Black woman, healing has meant facing invisibility, unmet expectations, and the quiet hope that one day, my mama might truly see me.

In this first part of a two-part series, I open up about the layered journey of healing while embracing my identity as a gay Black woman. From the pressure to shrink myself for the comfort of others to the quiet grief of wanting my family to see me fully—I’m saying it all with my chest. This episode is for anyone who’s ever tried to balance self-love with the deep desire for acceptance, especially from the people who raised us. Let’s talk about the silence, the shame, the small wins, and the loud pride.
