Growing Up as Minorities in Predominantly White Communities - with Kara Roselle

On this episode, I sat down with Kara Roselle to talk about what our experiences were like growing up as minorities in predominantly white communities and how those experiences shaped and changed us. Throughout the episode, Kara and I pulled from and noticed many shared experiences that we had even though we grew up in different states and talked about how common our experiences are. We talked about how it felt difficult to love our skin and natural hair, being called out in class and be the "token black person" during a lesson, and while many of the things discussed were negatives, we also made sure to talk about some positive things we found. Positive ways in which we grew because of what we dealt with growing up and our advice for minorities who are currently experiencing being one of few in a predominantly white area.

During the episode, Kara mentioned a few resources for us all to take a closer look at!
