Assimilation Not Required
PODCAST FOR THE ONES WHO DON’T DILUTE TO BE DIGESTIBLE
You ever show up to a room and feel like you left half of yourself at the door? Yeah—this ain’t that.
Assimilation Not Required is the video podcast where Black women—and anyone tired of shrinking—take the mask off. Hosted by Tahiirah Habibi, this is where code-switching dies, cultural honesty lives, and the conversations get real (and sometimes a lil ratchet).
We talk work, dating, parenting, softness, rage, identity, edges, healing, and what happens when we stop performing and start showing up in full.
No explaining. No editing. Just all of you—loud, loved, layered.

WELCOME TO THE
WHY THIS SHOW HAD TO HAPPEN
Because there’s no safe space when you’re edited for approval.
Because we’ve mastered showing up—but what about showing up as our whole damn selves?
Because it’s time to talk soft life, rage, joy, locs, baby hairs, boundaries, and Black-ass identity.
