In today’s episode, I explain my evolution of consciousness over the past week (first 30 minutes) and then we’ve dive into talking to Denise about the way she has experienced racism in her lifetime. The concerns she has for her children, that I as a white woman do not have for my child. Friends, the more we listen to the stories of others, the more we feel the vibrations that Black people live in every day, the more we can see our own bias and privilege, the more we can see where we need to change.
