Have you ever felt stereotyped? Before she stops off to buy snacks, Linda catches up with award-winning podcaster Sequoia Holmes (Black People Love Paramore) to dive into a long running theme through Sequoia’s life; being introverted and encountering stereotypes around her blackness and womanhood. The two chat about how important it is to shed these pigeonholed perspectives, and the dangers of privilege and feeling tokenised.
Sequoia recounts times in her school life and past relationships when these stereotypes as a woman of colour have shown up and how she almost wrote the best teenage self help guide.
