Chris Balanciere sits down with Blair to discuss his experience growing up as a young Black man in West Texas and finding his voice as an activist.
Chris brings up the confidence instilled in him by his mother, the longing for a relationship with his estranged father, and the serendipitous meeting that reunited Chris and his father when Chris was a young adult.
Blair and Chris explore the hurt unwittingly caused by the words and actions of white friends, such as "all lives matter", and the importance of education and good role models for today's youth.
While Blair and Chris have different perspectives, they seek to model how people from different backgrounds can put aside feeling uncomfortable and work together for a better world in which everyone has an equal opportunity to pursue their happiness.
