People need to hear this!
This is a conversation that needs to be heard because so many young women of color (and even men) can relate to the obstacles of growing up in America. Dealing with racism can be such a sensitive topic that most people would rather just ignore but deep inside it’s a providing a disservice to our evolution and how we treat each other. The situations and upbringing on this podcast really highlight, how one comment or even one experience can really traumatize how a person feels about themselves or view certain things. I also feel like all ages and genders could benefit from listening to these conversations and learn how to just treat each other better, evolve and just be better humans. Listening to this really shows me that people from all over the world deal with the same type of racial issues growing up, and we just need to do a better job at making sure we support each other and bring out the best in everyone around you. I hope this podcast gets the recognition it deserves and the right people listen to it, I’m looking forward for more episodes with different guests, listening to strong powerful women provide their perspective and share their experiences with others. Being raised by a strong woman myself, my mother single handedly raised 4 kids coming from The Dominican Republic to provide us with a better life, me being the youngest son and just seeing everything she went through. I don’t think in this society, situations like that are being credited enough or even spoken enough about, so that we can make the necessary changes, in which we can help the next generation not go through the same hardships as the ones before. That’s the next step on how we evolve as humans! Good luck Michelle! Good job!
Beautiful storytelling
Michelle has a beautiful and articulate way of expressing her rawness and vulnerability in her storytelling. Although I am a Southeast Asian American woman, I relate to Michelle hella hard as she struggles to find her identity and place in a weird and at times unwelcoming space.I truly wish I had this when I was a teenager. Amazing work❤️
