25 in 25: Let Them: Friendship, Growth, and Learning to Release

Watch on YouTube https://youtube.com/@poetryforblackgirls?si=-R7X8XYx2-8LAIHL Lesson 4 : In this episode of Poetry for Black Girls, I reflect on one of the biggest lessons I learned in 2025: learning to let people be who they are. As a 28-year-old Black woman navigating marriage, multiple moves, and life outside my hometown, I’ve learned that growth often changes friendships — and that not everyone is meant to grow with you. We talk about the “Let Them” theory, releasing expectations, recognizing misalignment, and choosing peace over proximity. This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to chase clarity, force closeness, or over-explain your evolution. If you’re navigating friendship shifts, adulthood, or learning how to honor yourself in this season, this one is for you. ✨ New episodes every Wednesday.
