Validating & Encouraging

Hair/respectability politics impede on authentic expression. This episode is validating, informative and encouraging. A must listen to for anyone wanting to embrace natural hairstyles.

My role model

I love this episode, I really hope it reaches a lot of parents that are confused and do not understand the changes. The kids are going through.

Absolutely love!

Two of my favorite people! Michelle and Tracee. Beautiful message! Made my day. Going to share with many.

A Great Person

It was the best ever. Would love to meet Mrs. Obama some day. I have MS. She could be a positive encouragement to me.

All of them

I loved her, and I asked for her book for Christmas ( the second one, I have the first one!) Me encantó, siendo puertorriqueña y mi primer idioma no es el inglés (tengo acento al hablar el inglés) aunque lo entiendo perfectamente, su forma de ver la vida, ufff a otro nivel.

We need more than 30 min!

Listening to them both is so uplifting and a pleasure. I could listen to them interview for hours and learn more about their friendship, life experiences, and beliefs. #friendshipgoals

Inspirational

These short clips had key takeaways and inspirational insights about one’s personal and interpersonal connections. Thanks to all interviewers and the main attraction… First Lady Michelle Obama.
