What does it really mean to be authentic? In this episode of The Grae Area Podcast, we unpack the layers of showing up as your true self — even when the room doesn’t always feel safe to do so. From people-pleasing habits to growth, boundaries, and evolution, they get real about what authenticity looks like, how it changes with time, and why it’s not a one-size-fits-all journey.



Get ready for laughs, insights, and a few truth bombs about being genuine in a world full of masks.



Welcome to the Grae Area. We are  @bn.breeze8709    @JusMeShakoyahD   and  @WhoisDamani_   Through uncommon topics that make us laugh when we shouldn’t, we make conversations fun again. We love to laugh, create, and inspire while having unique and thought provoking conversations.
