Summary
There’s a debt that builds quietly every time you let people meet a masked version of you instead of the real one. This episode, we’re discussing what code switching has actually cost us personally and where you even begin when the performance has become automatic. PLUS Oscars reactions, old school movies that still go hard, LaRussell’s ‘heaven sent’ song, Jack Harlow’s pandering era, and more!
