In this deeply heartfelt episode of Stories Beyond Borders, I sit down with Angela — a biracial woman who grew up navigating two cultures: a white mother and a Black father. She shares how, in her home, race wasn’t openly discussed, leaving her to make sense of her identity on her own.Angela reflects on the complexity of looking white in a Black family, acknowledging both the privilege she carried and the disconnect she sometimes felt. She opens up about the emotional weight of this journey, including a period of depression, and how embracing her story became an act of healing.As the first in her family to earn a college degree, Angela speaks candidly about what growth really means — that it isn’t always tied to achievements or tangible milestones, but to the quiet, internal work we do within ourselves. She also touches on how her siblings experienced identity differently, showing how one family can hold multiple truths.Toward the end, Angela shares beautiful wisdom on self-compassion, reminding us to be gentle with ourselves and that we’re not behind. Her words feel like a warm exhale — a reminder that every journey unfolds at its own pace.If you’re interested in identity, healing, and the courage to celebrate your own story, this conversation will speak to you.👉 Connect with Angela:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celebrateyourselfpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@celebrateyourselfpodcast
