All American star Michael Evans Behling opens up about what it’s like to be told he’s “not Black enough” — and how that phrase has haunted mixed kids and Black men for generations.

In this powerful conversation, we break down:
• The toxic idea of gatekeeping Black identity
• How stereotypes and cultural expectations hurt our own communities
• Why being Black is not about how you talk, dress, or who your friends are
• And how we can redefine what it means to be proud of who you are

This episode is about healing, truth, and reclaiming identity.
