    In this podcast we will take a serious but not too serious look at the difference in walking through the world as a white person vs. everyone else.  And I say serious but not to serious because I have found that humor often helps disarm people. Maybe you'll chuckle and then pause and be “like wait, was he serious?” and that's often when the truth sinks in In Each episode we will take a look at the differences between the experiences of whites and people of color, we will have two guests, yup you guessed it, one white and one person of color, we will take a journey with them, walk in their shoes, and discuss the differences as they navigate the same space. My hope is to educate through dialogue, something I think we have been missing for awhile now. Maybe, just maybe if we listen to these stories, we will begin to see each other as fully human. And that's where it begins, seeing and hearing each other. Realizing  that we are all worthy of empathy and respect.
