Today's guest, Emelda Juanita De Coteau invites us to unsee our stereotypes of physical appearance, abilities, socio-economic status, gender, etc. and step into the reality that we are all wonderfully made. "We come here as designer originals and we die a carbon copy. Don't die a carbon copy." Her passionate, wise, challenging, invitational words graciously illuminate disparities in the USA while encouraging us to be hope filled and engaged to make a difference. You gotta check this out.
