Friends, I’m super excited to be back for another episode this week!Today we have one of my great friends Hilary on to share her story and get real about motherhood. I value Hilary’s friendship for many reasons, but I would say that one my all time favorite things about her is her ability to always be real and honest. Even as someone who isn’t yet a parent, I learned so much from this episode! She brings us into the places of learning to remain true to herself in a world full of voices that try to pin us all against each other.

Friends, I am so excited for you to listen to our guest for this episode! I first met Kayla during my first day of graduate school. We are both in the same program aiming to obtain our Master’s degrees in Human Communication Studies. Kayla is not only such a great friend to me and so many others, but she continually advocates and encourages those around her to look critically at the systems that they are a part of. Whenever I want to have a deep conversation Kayla is one of the first people I think of. I value her opinion of this world and I know that you will too! In this episode we dive into her journey of coming out and LGBTQ+ pride. Her words and her story continually teach me so much. On this episode today she does nothing less than bring us into those places of vulnerability, and for that, I am so grateful.

In this episode, Mahala and I explore what it means to engage in anti-racist work as white people in America. We recorded this episode on Sunday May 24th, just about 24 hours before the killing of George Floyd at the hands of white law enforcement officers. We want to be mindful to add that we didn’t mention this because it had not yet occurred. Without discounting the trauma of what has happened in our world over this past week, we can’t ignore the fact that this has been a reality for people of color in our country for far too long. This is a conversation that needs to happen. I recently saw a quote from Jen Hatmaker that I want to share here. She said, “If we are not anti-racist, we are racist. There is no neutral when black lives continue to be dispensable and disposable day after day. There is no neutral when we gently benefit from white supremacy without challenging its demonic, inherent evils. This is our work.” In this episode, Mahala and I lean in to the conversation of white privilege and what it means to do anti-racist work. As Mahala’s friend, I can truly say that her work in this world is powerful. I’ve listened to this episode multiple times and continue to learn so much from her words. But the work goes beyond this episode. This is a conversation to have with your family, your friends, your workplace, and with yourself.
