Description

Welcome to Black Girl, Brown Girl… Squirrel! — the podcast for Black, Hispanic, Latina, and Asian women who are Neurodivergent (or wondering if they might be).


We’re your Sista Squirrels 🐿️ Shai and Lex — here to celebrate the chaos, the brilliance, and the hilarity of brains that don’t follow the “default settings.” Around here, tangents are the point.


We talk about life with:

  • 🌀 ADHD — from hyperfocus to forgotten keys (again).
  • Autism / AuDHD — deep dives, sensory adventures, and social “huh?” moments.
  • 💭 Anxiety & Depression — the not-so-fun side quests.
  • 💡 Self-diagnosis & discovery — figuring it out as we go.


Expect unfiltered stories, laughter that derails into tangents, and the relief of knowing you’re not the only one. Whether you’ve got a diagnosis, are self-identifying, or just suspect your brain might be running on a custom operating system, you belong here.


So grab your snacks, follow the chaos, and come squirrel with us. Life’s way more fun (and way less lonely) when you realize “off the rails” is the best track.
