Today's storyteller is Heleana Blackwell sharing her story of growing up as a black nerd in a conservative, mostly-white small British town. Heleana is an stand-up comedian who also works as a strategist and this story shows us why she excells at both. After the story, we delve deeper into the challenges she faced, and the strategies she used to overcome them.
