What happens when the way people see you shifts the moment you step into a new country? In this episode, Donatella Jackson shares her journey from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, and then to Paris, where she experienced a new lens on race, identity, and belonging.
As a Black woman abroad, Donatella reflects on the contrasts between how she was perceived in the U.S. versus in France, the challenges of navigating a new cultural landscape, and the unexpected freedoms that came with international living.
