Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Embracing Our Differences With Michael Fosberg

Author, Trainer, Thought-Leader, Activist, Actor and host of the Incognito: The Podcast joins us. Michael uses his  award winning autobiographical story, told in the form of a one-man play, as an entry point for meaningful dialogues on race and identity.
His book, 'Incognito: An American Odyssey Of Race And Self Discovery' is about his journey of discovering he was part black in his thirties. 

On this episode Micheal shares his incredible story of self discovery having grown up as a white male and passing as white only coming to discover in his thirties that his biological father was black. It's an incredible story and his deep understanding of race and perception add so much more depth to the narrative. 

• We should embrace our differences
• Let's spend less time focusing on what we don't see eye to eye
• Never assume or judge based on what you see cause there is always more to the story 

KEY TAKEAWAY - We each have our own identity that is tied to race by how we see each other and how the world sees us, but ultimately we are so much more than our race and skin color. There is more within to be discovered and more to honored and uncovered about all of those around us.
