16:36 “This world doesn’t know how to interact with introverts without taking offense.” Powerful statement and I definitely agree. Such an authentic and beautiful interview and I believe so many black women will feel seen! 💛✨ Definitely purchasing.

[@stefanyb7573]

Girl, my life story!

[@jennifern1956]

Yesssss

[@pocosperolocos71]

Knowing well that you're an introvert and celebrating it is a major red flag.

[@rwilli26rw]

This is my first exposure to Ms. Golding. What a gem!! 🖤

[@drob691]

I completely agree with how she broke down being an introvert.

[@gw2315]

Introverts United

[@stephengiese7549]

This lady has found her calling for sure! She is beautiful inside and out. She is an introvert and so am I. She speaks very well, looks at everyone when she speaks. She speaks about dealing with extroverts at a distance and so do I. Read this book.

[@callmedora]

She sounds like me. My friends are often offended by my need for alone time.

[@brendamacklin6044]

Great interview.. I was so bless to have both parents in the home growing up and my father was a strong Black man and my mom was a strong, nurturing Black woman!

[@timscott5581]

Yeah, she speaks like an introvert, so Am'I. She seems like a nonconfrontational person. Just a calm, thought tone of conversation. The thing that's concerning is,.. introverts, we tend to isolate ourselves a lot.

[@seanfrazier5571]

She mailed that 100%. This world does not know how to interact with introverts without taking offense

[@TDott-vc7lj]

Great interview: I purchased 3 copies for 3 very different but very important young Black women in my life. And I’ve sent the link for the book to the people I know with daughters who could gain from these essays.

[@ms.win_]

As an introvert, I truly enjoyed this interview. She is also low key funny 😂😂😂

[@melonnieali4113]

I’m an extrovert and I don’t use people 😭. I respect my introverted friends by giving them space and going at their social pace. I also respect my fellow extroverts by exploring new places and experiences and talking about anything and everything lol!

[@kimh9420]

Same...I think I'm in the middle but others would just see me an Extrovert.

[@moderngentlemen]

Such a great interview! As a guy and person of color, much of what she said resonated on a deeper level, especially how we are perceived in the public and the importance a father figure. Definitely one of my favorite interviews and I have no doubts that her book will be a runaway success.

[@Iyana215]

I am such an introvert and felt the same way, when I would go to the clubs with my friends..

[@getoffmygrass4857]

A gorgeous natural sista❤

[@edra122884]

The HU homie! Congratulations Shenequa on your book!

[@Anonymous-nz5kr]

I Watched this interview once, listened to the audio book, and then watched this interview again. She’s a very thoughtful woman, she talks with grace and is learning to accept who she is. I learned about myself from reading her book.

[@tamarapoindexter9482]

Maaaan this woman just broke down my entire life 😂 .. love it! I will definitely be buying this book

[@taracoach9351]

Great interview! I love that the fellas shared their experiences while listening as well. Shenequa shows wonderful conversation skills, humor, whit and great vibes. Gotta love an authentic soul when you see one ❤

[@gregoryjefferson6311]

That " TWOooo" came out like a Kevin Hart " Dayum !! " .

[@TerrellJByrd]

She is as brilliant as she is gorgeous.. looking forward to reading her book.. always welcome a perspective even if it's not my own.. Keep shining Queen🌹🌹👑🌹🌹

[@tonij6536]

22:58 black girl math in action. Because it's like " I said what i said, and i deemed it serious" 😂 I'll get this book on audio

[@shailatiara]

Shout out to Shenequa! We love a black woman who is true to herself. My message to her is: You are powerful and beautiful in your Essence without the revealing clothing and BBL. The God in you can be recognized. Thank you for being a role model for us Black Gworls ❤️

[@user-tc9pt4df5s]

Shenequa is phenomenal!!!

[@ap3stax]

N.V came thru with an AWESOME in-depth question (finally) 😁

[@tacrewgirl]

Great interview. Thanks for introducing me to this author.

[@ApFree-yn6cd]

I love Shenequa and her interviews. Check out her interview with the cast of When they see Us, phenomenal

[@noelwatson2237]

A great watch. Such a gift of a woman. Thank You ❤

[@soul5548]

This was a very rich conversation, I will definitely purchase the book. Sometimes having the biological and/or stepfather in the home may create more pain and chaos. I think in many cases it may be a blessing in disguise when an unhealthy parent is not in the home. It is still a void nonetheless but only God knows what may have been avoided with their absence. Another point, My daughter prefers her ‘step’ father, (with no ill will towards her biological father) but he was not around since she was two years old, she has expressed to her dad (we don’t use the term step) that she has not felt a void like some women may feel because her ‘step’ dad occupied and filled that space so well she didn’t feel like there was a void in her life. Her father has never uttered “step” nor his family either and continues to provide for and give her unconditional love as his own biological daughters/her sisters. I guess it really depends on the person’s individual experience. I’ve read a book and listened to a profound Ted talk several years ago on the topic of introverts and their brilliance. However, I really enjoyed the way she shared her perspective on being an introvert it really resonated with me. 💎 I look forward to reading the book. #lifelonglearner. #lovetoread

[@bobbywilsonfunfaithfamilymusic]

Shalom, WAKE THAT MIND UP! Thanks for sharing this conversation with Shenequa Golding, her story is dope! She mentioned "men washing the dishes after dinner, taking out the trash etc." It brought memories, from a child, the first thing after eating breakfast/ dinner was to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. I've been married for 33 years, washing dishes, taking out the trash, cleaning the house, as the man of my house, no problem. Shenequa Golding, thank you, kudos.

[@motif-music]

Intelligence and beauty radiating from this woman!

[@brandongary8234]

The right people in your life can make you happy success and calm

[@MrRicardowill]

This again was a great interview by the Breakfast Club. I enjoyed it and I am going to share it on my platform to inform Black girls and introverts who are often misunderstood. Ricardo Authenticity Rating for this podcast 10 out of 10. There is no magic to the rating. I’m just an attentive listener to the podcast and try to share my honest opinion. I call out things that are red flags. I’m not always right, but I’m not always wrong. I approach listening to podcasts as a chess player looking at different angles of understanding. I’m not trying to fail podcasters, but I’m interested in uplifting podcasts. Great job guys.

[@22Tee22]

19:29 MY LIFEEEE 😩 she explained it perfectly

[@Deonta-dw7ym]

Don’t agree with some of it but respect it

[@AtlLateNight]

Really enjoyed her honesty

[@prettygirllay-dr9iq]

She is soo stunning like omg!❤

[@miamor2001]

Shes absolutely gorgeous

[@themoviebrotha1033]

She is definitely a beautiful, articulate, and well spoken young lady..great interview.

[@barbarachavis4270]

She looks very good to say she is about to be forty . She looks much younger

[@Pou1gie1]

As I get older, I am realizing that much of aging is about genetics and taking care of yourself. Some people just fall a part after their teens and 20s.

[@jzana007]

Really good interview…I see myself in her. Jamaican 🇯🇲 in culture, black introvert, etc ❤

[@cydgotsomethingtosay]

Yesss!!! This resonated so much ❤️❤️❤️thank you for having her on

[@marqcollins1792]

This lady will make this interview go great!!!

Great interview we all need this one !’n

[@jerryhartnett4694]

I actually like this interview..this was good

[@amairriddick1439]

She was feeling dat boi DJ Envy, you’ll ain’t peep the energy

[@cshowers]

Our community is messed up I’m tired of these conversations where black women and men have unhealed trauma. You can tell dating her would be tiresome. I agree with Envy do what you enjoy to do and focus on the joy. Stop worrying about did that person reciprocate or not. Not everyone is ready for marriage which does take work. If you not ready to put in that work then just enjoy dating or single life.

[@inglewoodjet52]

So healing and being in love is not an option? Push the healing already!!!!

[@sidneytrowell7259]

Not foundational black American she is Jamaican she said it

[@cshowers]

@@inglewoodjet52 not sure what u mean but work out all that trauma from past men or relationships and daddy issues. We have too much of this in our community where black folks aren’t interested in dating each other anymore. The current flex is to date outside our race which is sad

[@inglewoodjet52]

@@cshowers I agree with the healing but both have to heal....then we can love each other properly. That's what I'm saying. Running to another race without healing is not the solution. I think we agree... lol I'm currently in therapy but I have yet to hear a black man is as well (as far as the streets). I ain't pointing any fingers but...... lol I love my black men but I'm not dating anymore unhealed one's. I am manifesting a husband, some of us want to spend the rest of our life with our best friend/lover. But believe me, I am prepared to be alone and happy.

[@qtinmemphis1969]

Then you are told when you have kids...you'll get azz and hips..... 4 kids later I still don't have azz and hips😭😭😭😭

[@elishagreen4423]

Yesssss, I know exactly how she feels. I use to get teased for having a flat butt, but now I’m in my fifties it is what it is.

The angry black woman stereotype is so annoying because why am i not allowed to experience emotion as just a human being. And its enforced from family, friends, accquaintances, etc. Its exhausting so now i just say what the hell i want to say. Receive it or not.
