Heather Chauvin Is The Only One Who Wouldn’t Be Alive If She Wasn’t White Episode 178


Listen Later

What if one year after your youngest son was born, you were diagnosed with stage four cancer?

Leadership coach, author and podcaster, Heather Chauvin’s family went into action, using their connections to make sure that Heather was seen quickly.

So what would you do if you realized that folks from the non-dominant culture might have had a completely different experience, and the only reason that you were alive was because of the color of your skin? Would you keep this information to yourself? Or would you talk about, all about it, and shine a light on this discrepancy?
