In this intimate conversation, we open up about what it really means to grow up biracial and existing between black and white, between cultures, between histories that once (and oftentimes still) oppose each other. We talk about identity, belonging, colorism and the quiet ache of feeling like you never fit anywhere.
This episode isn’t just about being mixed race. It’s about what it means to live in a world that keeps asking you to shrink, to simplify and choose one version of yourself just to be accepted. ..For anyone who’s ever felt too much, too different, or too complex to belong this conversation is also for you. You are not alone and you deserve to take up space exactly as you are.
