## Resource

What does it really mean to be Black Generation X? We are the generation that came after the Civil Rights Movement… Raised to believe progress had already happened… But lived through experiences that told us something very different. In this video, I break down: The reality of growing up as part of the transitional generation The difference between progress and the illusion of progress How history, culture, and lived experience shaped our perspective And most importantly… what Black Gen X must do moving forward This isn’t just about the past. This is about our responsibility right now. If you’ve ever felt like you were caught between what you were told and what you experienced… this conversation is for you.
