Many Roots, One Story with Model & Entrepreneur Daisi Jo Pollard

Daisi Jo Pollard, Model, and Entrepreneur, shares her story and talks about some of the heavy events that shaped her childhood, including being dropped off at social services by her mom at one point. Daisi shares what it's like for her as a multi-racial woman and how it affected her upbringing with family, as well as continues to affect her socially today. She talks about her experience with colorism, how she chooses to function in the world as a multi-racial woman, how she deals with stereotypical and racist comments and judgment, how she feels about people acknowledging her race, why she dated a guy 40 years older than her at one point, her views on success and how she worked hard to get to where she is today and more.  Trigger Warning- towards the end of the episode, at about the 1-hour mark, Daisi shares some abuse that she went through, including sexual abuse, so please be aware of this before you listen. @daisijo  Click here to grab your favorite beauty products and support women's healing and empowerment.
