Black people, we have a lot of work to do and as Vanity points out, a lot of it has to do with unlearning the whiteness that has shaped our prejudiced society. In today's episode, I asked Vanity Reid Deterville to come on our show to talk to me about her transition in life as well as her work to uplift and fight for the Black members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I met Vanity way back at the beginning of my journey to build BossLocks and it just so happened that she was in the early stages of her transition. So it was only right that I asked her to be the first person on my platform to address the lack of support we've had for our brothers, sisters, and non-binary Black people in the LGBTQIA+ community.
All Black Lives Matter and to prove it to you, I'd like to welcome you to Episode 8 Unlearning the Whiteness with Vanity Reid Deterville

at BossLocks we don’t just celebrate the destination, but the journey it takes to get there.
inspired by the natural hair journey, we wanted to do something that both symbolizes when new hair is growing as well as the hard work that goes into growing in your personal or professional life.
New growth isn't always pretty or Instagram worthy but without it are you really growing?
I love new growth and am reminding myself to appreciate all that comes with it.
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends!"--Martin L. King Jr.
It’s time to come to the realization that your silence does absolutely nothing to prevent the violence that Black, LatinX, Muslim, LGBTQIA+, and other diverse communities experience. It’s time to take a look at yourself, and ask if you are truly an anti-racist or just a spectator.
