In this episode, I invited Jahneice, a fellow podcaster on the show. We dived into societal expectations, breaking out of boxes, and fulfilling our passion through entrepreneurship and hosting a podcast. Jahneice shares experiences as a 2nd generation Canadian woman with Jamaican-Italian background and facing societal pressures to fit into the “mixed” box. I get emotional as a share a story about what happened to me way back in middle school that triggered a deep curiosity for finding out exactly where I belong.
