About this listen
Your city, your story. In this episode of Selfhood, we’re heading back to where it all began: your hometown. We’re repping our roots and diving into the third and final foundational layer of your model home of identity. Your city isn’t just where you’re from—it’s where your story begins. From the slang you use to the way you hustle, your hometown shapes your worldview, values, and the way you connect with others.
Nia shares how growing up in the Bronx influenced her resilience, individuality, and curiosity, while encouraging you to reflect on how your hometown shaped you. Whether you love your city, left it, or still call it home, this episode will help you unpack the impact of your roots on your selfhood.
Joining her is my high school bestie and special guest speaker, Tanisha Pierre, aka Nisha Da Chef, who shares her own perspective on how being from the Bronx shaped her. With unapologetic Bronx pride, Nisha brings her unique take on what it means to grow up in the Boogie Down and how it’s impacted her journey.
