Blair Imani is a brilliant author, educator, and the creator of viral web series Smarter in Seconds. But beind all of that is a story of deep self-discovery.
In our season finale of The SafeTea Podcast, Blair Imani opens up about growing up Black in the South, finding Islam in college, and navigating queerness in religious spaces. From coming out on Tucker Carlson Tonight to writing bestselling books and building an inclusive digital empire, Blair shares what it means to embrace complexity, challenge stereotypes, and define safety on her own terms.
We talk about reclaiming faith, surviving trolls, celebrating intersectionality, and why visibility isn’t the finish line – it’s the starting point for true transformation.
