EP 24: What If I Don't Have Friends Of My Race? (Part 1)

With Black History Month coming to a close, Daysha wanted to explore how the race of our friends can impact how we are perceived by others. When it comes to BIPOC people who either have fewer or no friends of their race, the implication is often that they aren't [Black, Brown, Asian, etc.] enough, but how much truth is there to that assumption? And is it possible for us to exist in a world where we don't have to think about these things as marks against our love of our culture?
