Hey, my name's Britt! I'm so happy you're here! Every day from age 4 - 18, I was the only brown face in all white spaces. I grew up in an affluent suburb where I was conditioned to ignore my blackness, not "see color," and was a lot of kids' first black friend." It wasn't until college that I realized how much I didn't understand about my own black culture. From natural hair maintenance to what the hell hot snacks were, let's just say, I quickly was experiencing an identity crisis. I realized that in the last 14 years of my life, I had to assimilate to a culture just to survive. As a result, I started this podcast to create a space for learning, unlearning, healing, and defining what being black means to me. From my personal diary entries to stories from mutuals on TikTok, Your Only Black Friend Podcast is starting the conversation about the isolating effects of growing in an "only" in your friend group. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/only-black-friend-pod/support
