“Black Girl Magic” and the Peculiar Freedom of Full Humanity
I know, far more intimately than I would like, how difficult it can be to separate who you are from what you have achieved. And I am so inspired by young women like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka, both incredible athletes and brave humans who defied expectations on two of the largest stages in the world in order to protect their physical and mental health. While I am not an Olympian like Simone or Naomi, I have spent a lifetime (un)learning lessons about my entitlement to my own humanity. The excerpt in this episode, from an upcoming travel memoir titled Alfacinha, discusses my experience with disentangling my identity from my accomplishments and celebrates a friendship that created space for me to be fully human.
