Returning to New York City, from London, just a week ago, Darrell has come to ponder this specific question: How does your subjected environment affect you, and how different are you when you branch out into the world and find other home bases for yourself in this vast, plentiful world? This week, Darrell expresses the impact environment has on his well-being, and what it really means to be in a place often, when you're a growing individual who needs the room and space to evolve, and the dishonoring of self that comes with spending too much time around people who are choosing not to grow, or evolve in good ways. This week, he also shares stories of moments in his life when adult strangers, during childhood, have provoked his thinking, giving him permission to think and dream bigger when there wasn't much of that around, and how crucial that is for the growth of a young black person.
