A lot of my exposure to culture was from TV (this is gonna be more U.S. centric). Sadly, most shows with Black folks featured “bad words” and sex, so they weren’t available to me as a kid. The popular cultural references also not being a thing to help me connect with Black folks online. I know of “bye, Felicia” but I don’t know it.
Sometimes life just feels like pretending a lot when you don’t feel included in communities.
Do you struggle with feeling included? I know a lot of white folks will see this, but I’m especially interested in non-white folks.
