Who You Say You Are
You are not the labels that people place on you. You are absolutely in control of who you want to be in this world and not those around you. It can be so hard in society not to fall victim to unwanted stereotypes and assumptions that people have but you can also use those to your advantage. Amy and Akeem dive into the misnomers labels have and how to use them to build the person you want to become.
