In this deeply personal first episode, I share the story behind Burden of History — not from a textbook, but from my own life.
From being excluded from a Thanksgiving dinner because “their son doesn’t like people of color,” to being followed in stores, questioned about what I could afford, and called the N-word in spaces where I was more than qualified to be — this is my truth.
These moments didn’t destroy me. They shaped me.
This podcast isn’t for pity — it’s for truth.
If you’ve ever felt silenced, dismissed, or invisible, this episode is for you.
✊🏾 Let’s tell the truth together.
