Harmonizing Humanity: Lessons In Peace and Forgiveness with Amikaeyla Gaston

"While Black: A Podcast on Black Excellence offers two seriously opinionated hosts bringing you the real and sometimes raw on anything happening while Black. The top 10% performing Atlanta-based podcast was born out of the Black experience. We uplift the ideal that Black people have a collective responsibility to create a stronger and more inspired community. We support our Black listeners by creating access to people and information that may prove difficult otherwise. Nothing is actually in isolation and our hue often connects us in color, culture and experience. To our non-Black audience, we are a resource providing answers to questions many are afraid to ask out loud. Finally, we humanize Black folks to those interested in better understanding Black life."

You read that right over 300,000 black people go missing every single year! Now ask yourself, how many do you hear about?
Our guest today knows this story all too well as she was stolen from her birth family around the age of one, and although she knew something was wrong as she grew up, she did not learn her truth or her real name until after her 50th birthday.
This is a critically important episode that talks about the details and statistics around black and missing children in this country. This one should be mandatory listening and mandatory sharing.
