  • In this country, some truths aren't self evident in NPR's black stories.

  • Black Truths, a collection of stories, is wide ranging and real as the people who tell them, we celebrate the black experience for all its soul and richness.

  • Search NPR black stories, black truths wherever you get podcasts.

  • Today on the show, whenever my boyfriend's parents are around, they pay for everything.

  • I probably shouldn't complain, but it's just too much.

  • Dear life Kit dear life Kit dear.

  • Life Kit dear life Kit, I have.

  • A question for you.

  • This is dear life kit from NPR.

  • How can I become a better caretaker?

  • How do I deal with my parents unrealistic expectations?

  • And we're getting personal.

  • I'm catching feelings for someone, but they're married.

  • I'm your host, Andy Tagle.

  • Every episode, we answer one of your most pressing and intimate anonymous questions with expert advice.

  • I definitely reading this letter felt like, oh, I kind of know what that feels like.

  • That's today's expert, Maya Lau.

  • Maya is the creator, host and executive producer of other People's Pockets, a podcast asking people from all walks of life to get radically transparent about their personal finances.
