The content of today's podcast was written and produced in a raw space. The storyline maybe tougher to follow, because this topic was not easy to discuss or share. Thank you for your patience. Imagine going throughout life, from childhood to adulthood and you are the only black girl or woman in the room.

Special thanks to Charles Williams (Husband) and Ellen Bashor (friend) for your feedback and edits for this week's podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/diona-williams/support

There's no way, I could talk about being in nature without addressing the obvious hurdle, my hair. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/diona-williams/support
