Grace Carter (California/USA) on Segregation, Courage and Impact
Today we are time-travelling to the US in the sixties. Grace Carter was among the first black women to get access to a formerly "all white" school and "all male white" college. In this conversation she shares her first moments of courage, the impact it had for her life, and draws the lessons for today's world.
What you will learn:
* How to stay strong when you aren't liked or welcome
* How to deflect hatred and bigotry
* How to cultivate friends and allies
* How to overcome feelings of inferiority as well as superiority
My favorite takeaways:
"Some people adapt by erasing who they are. I think it's important to embrace who you are and walk anyway."
"Whenever it is that you're sitting around thinking about how superior you are, you're probably wrong."
