At just seven years old, I was called “African booty scratcher” in a classroom full of kids, and the laughter that followed changed how I saw myself forever. In this deeply personal first episode, I take you back to the moment I realized I was a dark-skinned Black girl… and how that one experience shaped my confidence, my self-image, and the inner voice I’d carry for years. From the absence of affirmations at home to comparing myself to other girls, this is the story of how I began to believe I wasn’t enough—and the long road to unlearning that lie.

If you’ve ever questioned your beauty, struggled with identity, or are still healing from childhood wounds... this episode is for you.
