Neurospicy Black Girl
Follow along with the misadventures of Alani, a Black neurodivergent woman who’s usually (always) misunderstood by her lack of fitting into social norms, yet no one in her circle wants to explain to her why that’s wrong. Must be a neurotypical thing that she will also not understand… DISCLAIMER: The information provided on this podcast is for general knowledge and informational purposes only, and does not constitute medical advice.
