Given the recent horrific tragedy, national and global systemic racism issues, and wanting to be an ally to the black community, I want to take the next few episodes to use my platform and influence and pass the mic to those I believe we all need to hear. Our first episode of this mini-series is with my good friend Libby Christensen. Libby and I discuss her adoption process, what it was like growing up in a white family while she herself is mixed race, and her thoughts and views on the state of the world right now.
