Talking Society: How to be Black - The Struggles of Fitting into your Race

In this episode of Notes and Quotes, we explore the complexities of fitting into racial and cultural expectations. Naomi shares their experience of being labeled an "oreo"—black on the outside, white on the inside—while growing up in Barbados.

Quote of the day: "We put stereotypes on ourselves. Everybody does that. But I think it's just a little harder for black kids to just be who they are." - Donald Glover/Childish Gambino

This episode highlights how internalized labels create feelings of inadequacy, the diversity within the black community and the importance of embracing your authentic self.
