In this episode of Siraj, I get real about the not-so-fun olympics of identity and belonging, especially when you’ve got more than one culture on your résumé. I talk about the pressure to shrink, to soften and to translate! We get into double consciousness and the emotional tax of constantly editing yourself just to get a seat at the table. And yes, as promised, we’re talking names.

There’s sarcasm, there’s softness, and a quiet refusal to shrink.

Because honestly? I’m not here to be easy to explain. I’m here to be real.
