In this episode I had the opportunity to learn more about Dear Martin, but also about Nic Stone as a person!  We discuss several things such as racism in school settings, academic expectations from minorities, and the importance of tolerance.  It was such an amazing conversation and it was fun to hear from Ms. Stone's perspective.  If you would like to hear about Dear Martin from it's bestselling author, Nic Stone, be sure to listen to this episode!
