22- Dear Me, What I Wish I Knew as a Black Women Before Attending a Predominantly White School (Featuring Angeleaza and Brianne Anderson)

Dear You,

I am stoked about this weeks episode. We have two incredible Black women on the show talking about their experiences going to predominantly white schools.

This is part 1 of 2. Today we have Angeleaza's letter which is read by her sister Brianne. Brianne's letter will be read next week. Angeleaza was one of our very first mini episode letter write ins and we have kept in close contact with her ever since we began this podcast. We are grateful the Anderson sisters have come to speak to us today.

Love,

About the Podcast

Dear Me, Love Me

Writing to the past, to better the future

Dear You,

Welcome to the Dear Me, Love Me Podcast! We are excited to have you. We are Tee Boyich and Brooke Upholzer, two midwest girls living in New York City.
This podcast is where we write letters to our past (or sometimes even future) selves and talk about the things we wish we would have known going in to a certain situation. What we wish we knew before we went to college, before we had sex, before our world became so enamored with social media.
Our hope is to be the older sisters we never got to be.
We also want to hear from you, our listeners! Do you have advice to your past self? We would love to hear it, and maybe even read it on our show! Email us at dearmelovemepodcast@gmail.com

About your hosts

Therese Boyich

Tee is a 29 year old broadway actress living in NYC. She made her broadway debut in Mean Girls the Musical where she was the Standby for Cady, Gretchen, Janis and Adult Woman. She moved to NYC at the ripe age of 22 with two suitcases, and 1 grand on a lie that she already lived there to get a job. She couch surfed for months until she could afford an apartment. You may have also heard her voice on the theme song of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”. You know that “Ooo dammit?” Yep. That’s her.

She’s new to creating the podcast game but spends her time listening to many other amazing podcasts. Her favorite podcasts are My Favorite Murder, Lore, This American Life, Mortified, Criminal, and Radio Lab.

Tee lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn with her two redheads Aussies. Her Australian Husband Dave, and her toy Australian Shepard Butters. She is a vegan, a bookworm, an environmentalist and an advocate for mental health. She is absolutely the weirdo making silly faces at your baby or your dog when you’re not looking.

Brooke Upholzer

Brooke is a 27 year old full time nanny living in New York City. She comes from a performance background, majoring in Musical Theater at Kent State University. In 2011 she began performing at Walt Disney World as various meet and greet and parade characters. Upon graduating from Kent she worked full time as an Equity actor with the Walt Disney company opening the Frozen Sing Along at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the first ever on stage production with the Frozen characters.
After over 3 years as Disney's favorite feisty princess, a door opened for her to move to the Big Apple in 2017 and she gladly stepped through it. Here she has made a permanent home for herself with her dog, Nessie, and boyfriend Michael.
Brooke is new to the podcast industry but has been a long time podcast lover. Favorites include: My Favorite Murder, Office Ladies, & This American Life
