Summary
Given the recent horrific tragedy, national and global systemic racism issues, and wanting to be an ally to the black community, I want to take the next few episodes to use my platform and influence and pass the mic to those I believe we all need to hear. Our first episode of this mini-series is with my good friend Libby Christensen. Libby and I discuss her adoption process, what it was like growing up in a white family while she herself is mixed race, and her thoughts and views on the state of the world right now.

| 0:00.0 | What's up you guys? Happy Sunday and welcome back to the brunch with Desby podcast. I'm your host Des also known as Desby and this is your favorite start to the week. |
| 0:11.0 | Guys as you know the past few weeks we've had some really great episodes, we've had some fun, |
| 0:15.6 | we've spilt some tea, we've had some laughs, but lately the life in America, the life in general is not |
| 0:22.4 | laughable. I want to be very, very emotional and |
| 0:26.2 | raw with you guys. You know, the next few episodes I had planned simply just |
| 0:30.3 | don't fit the fucking cards right now. We need to be respectful of that. So for the |
| 0:35.0 | next coming episodes I'm really excited to be sharing different stories from |
