Bonus Episode: Unfiltered Conversations on Identity, Humanity, and Blackness with Andre Thomas

In this special bonus episode, Felicia sits down with good friend and fellow podcaster, Andre Thomas, co-host of Healing Race, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the complexities of identity, race, and relationships within the Black community. Though this episode steps away from our usual career-focused discussions, it touches on the human experiences that shape us—at work and in life.

We dive into thought-provoking topics like:

-The dynamics between Black women and Black gay men.
-The unspoken challenges of identity, competition, and love within our community.
-Breaking free from societal expectations and embracing self-acceptance.

This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt the weight of navigating multiple identities or struggled to reconcile personal truths with professional life. While we’re not directly discussing workplace dilemmas, this dialogue is a reminder that being your authentic self is crucial, not just in the workplace but in all aspects of life.

Let us know your thoughts on this conversation and if you'd like to hear more of these candid chats in the future.
