Have you been cast out or made fun of by your peers because of your difference in appearance and speech? Have you been told or been made to feel you're not black enough?
In today’s ep, 18-year-old Tamyah joins Roe to talk about finding freedom in her uniqueness as a black girl and owning who she is as a non-confrontational person in a culture where confrontation means tough.
They also cover courage and embracing friendships with people from all walks of life. So much inspiration in this one for anyone finding their way to their authenticity.

What She Said is run by Girl Stance Inc, a 501c3 non-profit organization that inspires, empowers, and guides girls to strengthen internal resources to navigate dysfunctional patterns at the level of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
