In Part 2 of Jesse Sanchez’s conversation on Something Shiny: ADHD Podcast, our President dives deeper into the power of mentorship and identity, and why seeing another neurodivergent person succeed can fundamentally change how you see yourself.

This episode explores the intersections of neurodivergence with race, class, incarceration, and educational access, challenging the idea that ADHD is a “rich kid diagnosis.” Jesse shares his personal story of growing up first-generation, low-income, and multiracial - and how the neurodivergent piece was missing from many of the systems designed to support him.

If you’ve ever felt like an imposter for doing things differently, this conversation is a reminder that you are not broken and that community can be transformative.
