🎙️ Kaleidoscope — Episode 2a: Faith, Family, Freedom

In this episode, Rae is joined by Maya and Raldia for a rich, vulnerable conversation that explores what it means to have faith, build family, and claim freedom—especially when the world has tried to define those things for you.

This is not just a talk about religion or blood ties—it’s about surviving systems that told us who to be, and the quiet, radical work of becoming ourselves anyway.

Together, we unpack:

• Faith as survival, not just belief
• The complexity of family—chosen, broken, and everything in between
• What real freedom feels like when you’ve never known it
• Identity, transformation, and the power of naming your experience

This episode is for anyone navigating the space between who they were told to be and who they actually are.

💬 Come sit with us. There’s room.
