On this episode of The Perspective View Podcast host Tomeria Jordan is joined by Dereka Moten to discuss how compliments and criticism shape our perspectives about ourselves. This is a conversation you don't want to miss. In the age of social media and social comparison it is easy to get bogged down with the "weight" of others opinions. Our hope is that through this conversation you will gain a different perspective and start to see yourself living free and unapologetically.
