0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Let's Talk About It. This is your host Taylor and today I have a very,
0:10.2	very personal episode that I will be sharing with you all. This interview was done last
0:15.8	week and before I share that interview, I want to touch on some of the events that have
0:20.4	started off this week and then just get into a little bit about what this episode can
0:25.6	be. So today I'm going to be sharing an interview or not even really an interview, a conversation
0:32.8	where I balance being both host and guest that I had with my siblings last week and I know many
0:42.0	of you are probably like, wait, why? Like she is a sister, what? And I haven't been super vocal
0:50.3	about this part of my identity as it has been one that I have still been navigating and still
0:58.0	been figuring out for several years now. And so I guess I just want to give a little bit of
1:03.8	background. For some of you who have maybe listened to the episodes with Rob, who's my chosen
1:09.5	father, the episodes about the first one that I did on being biracial, talking about Father's Day,

1:31.3	moved me out of South Jersey. The area where from is like the poorest county in all of Jersey.
1:39.3	There's not a lot there. And she grew up there and really didn't want me to, you know, have that
1:45.1	life she wanted me to have a better life than what she had. And so her and my grandma, my mom,
1:50.7	moved me out to Seattle, Washington. And at that time, she was, had just turned 20.
2:00.9	My dad was just finishing high school when I was born. And they, they really didn't know what they
2:08.6	were doing. Obviously, they were so young when they had me. But, you know, my dad wasn't super in the
2:15.1	picture. He was trying to make a better life for himself as well by trying to go to school. And
2:20.5	unfortunately, I just didn't have the resources to continue putting himself through school. So
2:26.0	he ended back home. But, you know, when my mom moved me, she didn't tell anyone where she was going.
