Ep. 15 - I Am Who I Am (Part 2)

In this 2nd part of my convo with B, we talk more about labels and stereotypes and the emotional weight that comes with being someone we are not, along with anti-blackness racism and how we care for our mental health and be authentically Black with a capital B in spaces that are not designed for us.
