I am finally able to share this podcast with the world! What started out as a doctoral Capstone Project, I am using this episode to introduce the theme of adultification and its detrimental effects on Black girls. I am sharing a little bit of my journey and the motivation behind creating this platform to amplify the voices of Black women and girls. The podcast aims to foster a community of support, challenge societal norms, and encourage listeners to engage in meaningful conversations about the experiences of Black girls.
