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.
