Have you ever felt like people noticed your race before they noticed you? Sometimes it might sound like a compliment: “You’re so articulate.” “You’re pretty for…” “You’re not what I expected.” But beneath those words, there’s often an assumption about who someone should be. Instead of being seen as a unique individual, you end up feeling like the exception to a stereotype. Have you ever experienced that? What was said, and how did it make you feel? by @builtintheopen

Sometimes healing means going back for the younger version of yourself who learned how to survive alone and saying, “I will never leave you again.”

In a new episode of the Built Different podcast, we talk about Black boy joy, inner-child healing, mental health, abandonment, and learning how to become a safe place for yourself. by @builtintheopen

We need safe spaces too!

Culturally, it’s often communicated that men are the ones doing the predatory work in these spaces.

But our sisters be out here too.

Run clubs and group activities are supposed to be safe spaces. Sometimes they’re something else entirely.

It’s been a while since I shared an episode, so I apologize for the delay.

And I’m determined to finish what I started.

The best way to do that is by sitting down with my brother and my friend Brandon Mullen
for this episode.

We’ll discuss the importance of treating everything as a significant matter and the significance of character development in preparation. This episode is for all my musicians who are seeking various opportunities.

Brandon will share his insights on the process and what he’s learned. Please check out the episode. by @builtintheopen

Will gets honest about battling addiction since he was eleven, and something nobody really talks about. Even after the addiction itself isn’t controlling you anymore, the images don’t just disappear. They live rent free in your head. by @builtintheopen

Some of us look completely fine on the outside and are still fighting the same fight on the inside. Nobody talks about that part.

If this is you, comment below. Be kind, we’re all in process. by @builtintheopen

What in your life is too loud right now?

Maybe it’s not confusion. Maybe you just haven’t been quiet long enough yet.

You can’t hear what matters until you learn what to tune out.

You finally let people in. Now everybody got an opinion. Jourdan opens up about finally craving community after spending most of his 20s going alone. But now that he has it, the voices are loud and coming from every direction.
Rob meets him right there. A multitude of counsel is a beautiful thing, but it doesn’t mean the same area of counsel. You need people who know your heart and know different lanes.
Because when everyone giving you advice is from the same world, one lane starts running your whole life.

Have you ever had too many voices pulling you in too many directions?

WE’RE BACK!
I know we’ve been MIA, but we’re back with a vengeance. And if you’re feeling generous, toss us a donation for those speedy edits 👀😂

In this episode of Hidden Gems, we’re shining the spotlight on the one and only Christina Faith. She’s a movement, not a moment – sneaking people in, putting them on, and getting it done like nobody’s business. Harriet Tubman meets Olivia Pope, and it’s a beautiful thing.

Christina’s got a gift for making things happen, and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to chat with her. Hope this convo blesses and motivates you to keep pushing forward, even when the path ain’t clear. Just remember: it’s all about grace, grit, and the gall to keep going by @builtintheopen
