💀 who am I? 💀
My name is Savonne Pearson, a 25-year-old who loves to tell stories and challenge perspectives. Whether it be through commentary or a series, in each video, I aim to teach you something new or tell a story.
I talk a lot about lesbian topics, heavily promote normalizing talking about mental health within the black community, and take you with me as I begin to navigate this thing called adulthood.
