In this episode of Black Girl Overthinking, we unpack the deep-rooted fear of being misunderstood and why so many of us—especially Black women—feel the need to over-explain ourselves. From childhood trauma and family dynamics to navigating racist encounters in the workplace and romantic relationships, Areiyami gets real about what it means to be constantly proving your intentions just to be heard.
You’ll hear personal stories, laughs, and raw truths about validation, emotional exhaustion, and breaking free from the need to be understood. If you’ve ever found yourself explaining your boundaries a little too much or replaying convos in your head—this one’s for you.
Episode Affirmation:
“I do not beg to be understood. My truth is clear, my voice is strong, and I trust that the right people will hear me.”
