Every day from age 4 - 18, I was the only brown face in all white spaces. I grew up in an affluent suburb where I was conditioned to ignore my blackness, not "see color," and was a lot of kids' first black friend." It wasn't until college that I realized how much I didn't understand about my own black culture. From natural hair maintenance to what the hell hot snacks were, let's just say, I quickly was experiencing an identity crisis.
I realized that in the last 14 years of my life, I had to assimilate to a culture just to survive. As a result, I started this podcast to create a space for learning, unlearning, healing, and defining what being black means to me.
