Episode notes
Sola works with young people who are often told, directly or otherwise, where their limits lie.
This story reveals what can happen when imagination meets representation. It explores the effort it takes to hold belief when others don’t recognise themselves in the picture being offered, and the patience required to keep showing up until something shifts.
Progress here is earned slowly, through trust, repetition, and a willingness to look foolish at first.
A piece about possibility, visibility, and how being seen can quietly expand what feels available.
