Welcome to Season 6 of You Had Me at Black! This week's story comes from Kelly, who grew up in predominantly white Utah. She never knew what her parents did for a living, then one day the cops showed up at her door. This season we recorded all of our stories over Skype, which allowed us reach people in places we wouldn't have been able to otherwise.

This story is produced by Rachel Jones and scored, mixed, and mastered by Miles Dotson.

About You Had Me at Black -
You Had Me at Black is a storytelling movement reclaiming the black narrative by passing the mic to regular people with a story to tell. We do so through a weekly, seasonal podcast and live storytelling events.
