In this episode, I discuss the purpose of the podcast, the meaning of "BUG'N" and why gifted and neurodivergent people, especially adults, need more spaces to exist without stigmas. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FrqnMjbO6uaHSSnEd-3pePh-Xqa3yccSMHA4O6T0u6o/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode Transcript Provided by Podcastle</a> Intro and Outro music provided by <a href="https://byrdversion1.bandcamp.com/album/nevermore" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">byrdversion1 - "It Couldn't Be" from the album Nevermore</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.

Why Are We BUG'N?

Does the world seem like it's dragging along at a different pace? Do you constantly feel like you're the only one who notices "the emperor has no clothes"? Were you constantly teased or shamed for not conforming to what's "normal"? Do you wish you had accommodations for your needs that others readily received?If that sounds all too familiar, you might be BUGN (Black Underrepresented/Unidentified Gifted and otherwise Neurodivergent).This is a podcast primarily for Black gifted and otherwise neurodivergent people to learn about and discuss our unique experiences. I'm also here to create a safe and empowering space for all neurodivergent people, especially those who may not officially be identified and those from underrepresented communities. My goal is to move neurodivergence from deficiency to difference and to create a space where labels don't have to feel like pathology. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
