Show Notes
Getting out of the habit of pleasing people is a journey, and even more so as a young Black woman. Jessica Reed, sits in the guests chair in this episode to discuss how stereotypes build barriers to connecting with other Black cultures. Breaking stereotypes between Black cultures is not easy. It requires work and intention to share stories, and frustrations to reach growth. With intentional storytelling, a bridge can be formed.
