Episode 6: The Secrets we Carry

Being black often means walking through life and never being fully seen. Authenticity is a privilege, and in a world that sees you as a threat, the cost can be too steep. Our Hidden Stories warmly welcomes DaviAnn Fearon, all the way from Philadelphia, for another honest and open sharing of stories. Together she takes us through some of the childhood and college experiences that have heavily shaped her views on trust. We discuss keeping secrets, isolation, and wearing a “mask” as a means of protection. This episode ranges on topics from coping mechanisms to feeling hurt and betrayed by the Church. The conversation concludes with some thought-provoking questions on giving each other space to be fully seen.
