The highly anticipated second part of Mary’s episode is FINALLY here! Sorry for being MIA, pod squad😬

Just to recap, Mar is one of my BFFs from college. We met when I transferred to Catholic University during our sophomore year in 2011…and 11+ years later, she’s STILL in school and not quite done!

BUT just a fun February 2023 update: Mary has been offered a school psychologist position for the 2023-2024 school year! So many congratulations to her 🎉

So often, we expect to define and be defined by others in a singular way, whether that is through our race, career, sexuality, or our relationships. We move through society as though our identities can be packaged away into neat, little, asynchronous boxes. However, human beings are so complex and unique; how can we expect to define each other in this minimalistic way?

During each episode, we will reclaim the question "what are you?" by transforming a crude, belittling comment into an opportunity to explore the infinite facets of identity. We are all diamonds, so let's shine!✨
