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.
