  • Carmen Rita Wong Is The Only One In The Room Who Grew Up Believing a Lie

    What if you grew up believing a lie? Author, writer, reporter, and producer, Carmen Rita Wong and her brother, Alex, were born to a Dominican mother and a Chinese father - or she thought. So what would you do if, as your mother lay dying, you found out that she’d been lying to you about your father’s identity? Would you accept your mother’s deathbed confession? Or would you do some real detective work to find out if she was telling the truth?

  • Sofia Rose Is The Only Fat, Over-Forty, Latina Pornstar In The Room

    Imagine being an actress in an industry where the norm is twenty, white and thin and you are a proud forty-something Latina who identifies as fat.

    Sofia Rose, critically acclaimed Latina performer, published model, pioneering BBW pornstar became an adult film actress knowing that she’d be fetishized by some and criticized by others. 

    But what would you do if you discovered that by simply being yourself on film, you made it possible for real women, women who looked like you to feel desirable? Would you let the critics get to you and retire from your chosen profession? Or would you continue to win award after award and show the world how a Big Beautiful Woman does it?

  • Rafael Agustin Is The Only Who Was Shocked To Find Out He Was Undocumented

    What if, even though you’d moved to the US at age six from Ecuador, you grew up thinking you were like every other American boy?

    Author, screenwriter and CEO, Rafael Agustin modeled his childhood after the Hollywood TV shows he loved, Batman, Saved By The Bell, Friends and more.

    But what would you do if your parents told you that you were undocumented and the life that you’d been living was actually borrowed and not yours for keeps. Would you feel betrayed and hold a grudge against your parents? Or would you see that they were trying to protect you and give you “dreams without borders''?

  • Sean (Seano) McFarland: The Only One In The Room Ending Generational Trauma

    Imagine being twelve years old when your father leaves your family. And instead of watching him drive away, you give chase, on foot, for four whole miles?


    For addiction trauma specialist and life coach, Sean “Seano” McFarland, his father’s leaving was the beginning of a series of traumatic events that would shape and change the course of his entire life.


    But what would you do if when you became a father yourself, and you wanted to give your son what your father couldn’t give to you? Would you allow the pain that scarred your childhood years to guide your parenting? Or would you end the generational trauma by showing up for him no matter what?
