87 Giftedness & the Sparkly Mind with Sheldon Gay

  • Summary

  • Sheldon Gay shares about giftedness, in particular the intersections of being late-identified as a Black man. He hosts the I Must Be BUG'N podcast (Black, Underrepresented/Unidentified, Gifted and otherwise Neurodivergent).


    I absolutely love his term of having a sparkly mind!


    We weave through many topics, including education and melanated & marginalized kids not having their needs met.


    This is the first of 5-6 upcoming episodes on gifted neurodivergent experiences.


    p.s. that "or, but anyway" that I didn't finish was that people experience my intensity as seeming like mental illness.
