In this episode, I talk about my personal experience of growing up Mixed-Race, White British and Black Caribbean in 1980s/1990s Britain. Whilst I'm now very proud of who I am it wasn't always easy for me to navigate my duel heritage.
I discuss:
Being self-aware outside of major cities
Feeling vibes that remind you that you're different
How other people's opinions impacted my sense of self
Not seeing myself represented impacted my self-confidence
Wanting to end it all.
