Part 2 - Growing Up as a Pro Athlete's Kid: The Truth Nobody Tells You | Day 25

Part 1- Growing up as a black American kid in France: Watch Here    • Growing Up Black in France: My Real Experi...   I grew up inside a world most people only see from the outside. My dad played professional basketball in France for over 20 years, and that life shaped everything about how I see opportunity, identity, and what I'm willing to settle for. It came with some real gifts and some real costs, and today I'm finally walking through both. In this video I share the cons nobody prepares you for, like constantly being the new kid, leaving friends behind, and dealing with jealousy from people who just didn't get it. And then I get into the pros, including the travel, the cultural fluency, and the biggest one: watching my dad build a full career out of his passion, which completely rewired how I see what's possible.
