This episode, we have the great pleasure of speaking with Sheldon Gay, an all around multidimensional powerhouse! The founder of "Sheldon Gay is BUG'N", he aims to help any and all neurodiverse individuals identify with that label and learn how to embrace it. Whether through speaking engagements, individualized coaching, or through his podcast ("I Must Be BUG'N"), Sheldon emphasizes the need to make sense of a world where 'normal' isn't really that 'normal' . It's incredible knowing that Sheldon is not only a part of the world of neurodiversity, but also an outspoken advocate and positive representative. 🥳🥳 As a late-identified gifted, and therefore neurodivergent, Black man, Sheldon sees the world in ways that can be very different from what society has told us is reasonable. In essence, he knows what it’s like to feel misunderstood and isolated -- and he understands the importance of being seen and valued within society. We loved being able to explore Sheldon's experience growing up, especially as a melanated person, and what led him to his passions and unique perspectives on the world around him. Thank you for your time, expertise, and joy, Sheldon! Also, what a great throwback to Doug! 🥳🎉 (Also, Sheldon's use of BUG'N itself? Phenomenal! It stands for -- Black Underrepresented/Unidentified Gifted and otherwise Neurodivergent.) -- Why not start a school? --
