Being black outside of America, feeling good enough, & moving your body w/Fatou Sy

by | Oct 11, 2017

Can you imagine what it would be like to live in your body, as you are now… but somewhere else? Living your current experience in familiar land offers but a singular perspective. But being you, in an entirely different environment would change everything. 

This week’s guest, Fatou Sy talks about what it’s like to grow up in a place where the people don’t look like you. And how being different shaped how she perceived and experienced herself. What it’s like to be a woman varies, depending on where you are on the planet… go figure. 

In this episode we explore:

What it’s like to live in a black female body on three different continents.

Moving forward by moving your body. 

How someone’s story can help you shift. 

Learning to love the skin you’re in.
