Description

Dr. Simone Kotraba did exactly what her parents wanted her to do - get an education.  So she did.  Fast-forward several years and a doctorate later, it's still causing conflict.   

Dr. Kotraba and I break down what it's like to grow up in the West Indian community.   She shares her experiences of adjusting to life in Brooklyn from Jamaica and how she had to unpack the belief systems, lack/poverty mindsets and identity issues so that she could raise her child differently.
