In this episode, my dear childhood friend Candice Shakur generously shares her experience as a Black girl growing up in small white Pennsylvania town, her current reality navigating the myriad challenges and  complexity of white supremacy culture as a Black woman, wife, and mother, and where she finds her hope.

Candice Shakur was born and raised in York, PA. She is a private person who would rather keep her stories to herself, but as an avid listener to this podcast, she couldn’t help but admit that sharing your story can sometimes be a good thing to do. Candice currently lives in the Midwest with her husband and 3 kids, and works as a professional organizer. You can find more of her work at moreroomathome.com.
