Ep 8 | When Excellence Still Isn’t Enough

from The Truth Is... · host Chelly and Jackie

On this episode of The Truth Is Podcast, Chelly and Jackie are getting real about the experience of being Black in predominantly white spaces. From the subtle (and not-so-subtle) microaggressions to the constant pressure of having to prove ourselves, we unpack what it means to exist in spaces that weren’t always built with us in mind.We’re sharing personal stories, unpacking the weight of "code-switching," and discussing how to hold onto your identity without feeling like you have to shrink yourself. Because the truth is—you are enough, just as you are.Tap in as we get honest, reflective, and maybe even a little petty (because, whew, the audacity of some folks!). Don’t miss this one! 🎙️✨What's What of the Week:@phenommusesalon | @muvaofmusewww.phenommuse.comFollow Us on Instagram:The Truth Is Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/truthispod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chelly Instagram: @xochellyyxoJackie TikTok: @whatjackieDon't forget to tag #truthispodcastor @ us to let us know what you think of this week's episode!Want to leave us a voicemail?
