The Vulnerability Talk Show
The Vulnerability Talk Show
Michelle Matandani
The show is dedicated towards forming connections through experience as BIPOC (Black Indigenous and People of Colour). The goal is to give BIPOC, a chance to share their story! Are you a business owner? A writer ? A singer ? Did you just start your podcast or YouTube channel? Or are you just a student like me , always going through IT and hoping that this B.S pays off? (Bachelor of Science) Let’s talk lifestyle, culture shock , FOOD, Dating, Contemplating changing degrees, Depression, piercings, tattoos and ASSIGNMENT EXTENSIONS. My goal is to share what has worked for me and to remind you that you are not alone in your struggles, especially considering there are many intersecting factors as a BIPOC student that intensify your experience at work, school or society, especially if you are away from home. Remember you are you and no one has the same story as you!
