Black Boomer Besties from Brooklyn
This is what the world needs now: two free-thinking “seasoned” Black women speaking their truth and inspiring others to do the same. Shaped by 45 years of friendship that began at the prestigious Brooklyn Technical High School through the Ivy League, medical school, marriages, divorces, triumphs, parenting queer children, life-threatening illness and many many amazing adventures. Each week, besties Leslie Osei-Tutu and Angella Fraser will push against boundaries in love, culture, careers, faith, politics and out-dated assumptions about women of a certain age. Remember, you’re never too old to change your mind…or your hair! (but more on that later :-)All views are our own and do not reflect the views of our institution/company.

Ep 46 S4/10 Why Do We Hide Our Light?
Leslie felt left out when Angella appeared on television and didn't tell her about it ahead of time. She couldn’t understand why Angella downplayed it as “no big deal”. The incident led the Besties into a discussion about the ways in which we tend to judge ourselves and engage in negative self talk. Others may recognize our accomplishments while we experience imposter syndrome.
As Season 4 comes to a close, remember why this podcast was created: to remind you to live out loud and honor the unique ways you show up in the world.
The well referenced biblical scripture in Matthew reads: "No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house”. Let your light shine.
