In this episode of Born Without a Choice, we dive into the story that was almost never told.

The one that felt too uncomfortable.

This conversation explores truth, resistance, and what happens when someone chooses to speak anyway—despite being overlooked, ignored, or shut down.

Because sometimes…

the stories people don’t want to hear

are the ones we need the most.
