You're either Hispanic or Black...but you can't be both. Ever feel like you don’t belong fully in either world—too Black to be Hispanic, too Hispanic to be Black? Being both can feel like you’re pushed to pick one side, and it leaves you wondering where you really fit. But what if you didn’t have to choose?

Join Milton, as we get into the real struggles that come with straddling two identities and how Black and Hispanic communities share more than most people think. From the quiet struggles with mental health and the weight of family expectations to the generational trauma that so many of us carry, this conversation is for anyone who’s felt torn between two cultures.

Let’s talk about finding strength in embracing all of who you are, even when others don’t get it. This is about challenging the stigma, seeing the connections, and finding a space where you don’t have to pick a side—because both are a part of you. For anyone out there feeling split down the middle, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone, and that there’s power in owning every piece of your identity.
