Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis

What happens when you combine uncomfortable questions, honest conversations, and a willingness to think differently?
In Episode 47 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, I play the thought-provoking card game InHUEmanity, answering questions that explore race, religion, politics, stereotypes, history, culture, and society.
This isn't about having all the answers—it's about creating space for meaningful conversations, challenging perspectives, and encouraging critical thinking.
✨ In this episode we discuss:
Race and racial stereotypes
Religion and faith
Politics and current events
Society's influence on our beliefs
Cultural identity
Honest conversations about difficult topics
Personal experiences and perspectives
Why asking questions is the beginning of growth
Every card sparked a different conversation, and every answer challenged me to think deeper.
💭 "Growth begins where comfort ends."
Whether you agree with every perspective or not, this episode is designed to encourage respectful dialogue and thoughtful reflection.
