by Girls Like Us
A podcast for black women. On belonging, unlearning perfectionism and making space for girls like us. Hosted by two dope black women who’ve been disappointed by the way the rules change even when we follow them to the T, the truth is that these rules weren’t created with us in mind. So, we’re starting a podcast to speak about what it’s like making your own rules about life, and unlearning the BS we’ve been taught to shrink ourselves to fit into. Let’s heal together.
