In this episode of Talking Brown Sugar, Angela and Rajah get into the unspoken rules we grew up with and how those compare to the boundaries we’re learning to set now as adults.

From “the look” at family gatherings to not being able to close your door, to learning (sometimes the hard way) that you don’t have to accept everything just to be a “good person”. This is honest and layered conversation about how boundaries show up in Black families across generations.

We talk about:

• ​ What boundaries looked like growing up (spoken and unspoken)
• ​ The difference between respect, fear, and control
• ​ Learning to communicate boundaries as adults
• ​ “Don’t just pull up” privacy, space, and personal peace
• ​ Whether boundaries bring families closer or create distance

This one is honest, funny, and real. The kind of conversation that might have you thinking about your own family, your own limits, and what you’re still learning.
