Kimberly Teeter grew up in North Carolina not far from where I grew up.

In fact, our two states neighbor one another.

We are around the same age and both ended up in Utah over 2,000 miles from home

for years that overlapped and we have dozens of mutual friends.

But we'd never met one another until we sat down to record an interview for this podcast.

Despite all that we have in common and aside from the fact that Kimberly is way more accomplished

than I could ever hope to be, there is one crucial thing that has made Kimberly's experience

growing up in North Carolina as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,

a lot different than my own and that is the color of our skin.

Recently, Kimberly contributed to every needful thing, a compilation of essays on the life

of the mind and heart and shared some of these experiences in a poignant and profound way.

Kimberly Apple White Teeter is a licensed clinical psychologist, a published author, an adjunct

professor, and an entrepreneur in the Salt Lake City area.

She received a doctorate in psychology in school, clinical child psychology, and completed

a postdoctoral fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital and was a fellow at Harvard Medical School

before moving to Utah.

Kimberly is a bishops wife and mother of two daughters, as well as the assistant director

of the Deborah Bonner Unity Gospel Choir.

This is All In, an LDS living podcast where we ask the question, what does it really mean

to be All In, the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

I'm Morgan Pearson and I am so excited to have Kimberly Apple White Teeter on the line

with me today, Kimberly, welcome.
