The Friendships That Shaped Us — Part 2: Adoption, Identity & Never Feeling “Black Enough”

In part two of our one-year anniversary celebration, we sit down with our best friends for an open and emotional conversation about identity, belonging, and what it really means to feel “Black enough.” From being adopted by two white moms in a small Pennsylvania town to growing up as the youngest of eleven in Houston, our friends share their stories of family, culture, and self-discovery. We talk about navigating Blackness through different upbringings, breaking generational patterns, and how friendship and therapy have helped us all embrace who we are inside and out.
