Black Girl, Brown Girl...Squirrel! A Podcast for Neurodivergent Women of Color
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.

Fan Mail
Lex and Shai I am so proud of you both. Is it ok to say your podcast is truly informative and entertaining? I had no idea I would laugh this much but I've also cried. More importantly I'm learning a lot listening to your perspectives. Through this podcast lens I'm getting to know Shai. Girrrllll some of the things you say, I can definitely relate. I'm like "exactly!" Sometimes I've said " oh lordt that's me ." 😂 And Lex- let's just say - It's so exciting to "see" you in this light- to "see" you shine as you share and grow and thrive. I'm sooooo proud of you. Never have I said - "Oh no she didn't say that for the world to hear ." This is your safe space to be you . It gives me so much peace within knowing this is something that brings out your best you . Remember, I'll always be your biggest fan. So nice job you two. Season 1 was awesome but so far Season 2 is lit 🔥 😂.
