Only One In The Room

When I was pregnant with my now 22-year-old son, my OBGYN insisted that I start drinking water after I confessed to him that I subsisted almost entirely on a diet of candy and soda. I left his office feeling sentenced that day, thinking that I could never possibly drink ONLY water for the remaining months of my pregnancy, as it had no flavor. Perhaps if Hint Water had existed then, I might have had an easier time.

We are absolutely thrilled to have with us, Founder and CEO of Hint, Inc., Kara Goldin. Hint inc is known for its award-winning Hint® water, the leading unsweetened flavored water, and the author of Undaunted. She is an active speaker & writer and hosts the podcast The Kara Goldin Show where she interviews founders, entrepreneurs, and other disruptors across various industries.

What if your white mother couldn’t raise you and your black father, who adored you, was in and out of prison for most of your life, leaving you to child services in Minnesota where you were one of the few mixed race children entrusted to their foster care system?

Tracy McMillian, Best selling author, screenwriter, relationship thought-leader and influencer, was raised by a foster family with solid Minnesotan values, getting a paper route in the dead of winter and visiting with her biological father whenever she could.

But what would you do if after growing up, you had a chance to forgive your circumstances, including the mother and father who’d abandoned you? Would you put your past feelings aside, deciding to believe that they did the best they could? Or would you leave your past behind and move forward with the amazing life you’d built — for yourself?

What if, while looking to adopt, two babies stole your heart, one white and one Black. And when you looked at them, you just knew that they were both your daughters.

William Fitzsimmons, singer, songwriter and producer, adopted his two daughters with his now ex-wife, knowing that as a White man, it would be important to learn to take care of his Black daughter’s hair and educate himself about her African-American culture.

But what would you do, if a cultural reckoning swept across America and put a harsh spotlight on the racial differences in your family? Would you try to stay low until things settled down? Or would you celebrate your daughter’s heritage for all the world to see?

Romance novels are big business. According to the Romance Writers of America, the romance fiction industry is worth $1.08 billion dollars a year, which makes it about a third larger than the inspirational book industry, and about the size of the mystery novel genre and science fiction/fantasy genre markets combined. Look up the top selling romance novel authors and you’ll find a long list of mostly white women. Pick up a romance novel at the airport or your local book store and you’ll most likely find a young, white, cis-hetero, blond haired, blue-eyed heroine. Things are changing though, thanks in part to our guest, Robyn Crawford. 

Robyn launched Eden Books in March 2019 after one of her favorite authors had her book banned from Amazon for content. Robyn soon discovered that other books that were being banned for content were often by people of color or queer people.

“The historical pattern of government programs that have failed the American people and Black communities in particular. We need to be our own strength, and we can’t just rely on the government to save us. But, if they really do want to help, they can do one simple thing- get out of the way.” Nicholas Wildstar

Nickolas Wildstar is one of the first major candidates to formally announce a gubernatorial campaign for California 2022. Libertarian activist Wildstar was a candidate for Fresno Mayor in 2020 and California governor in 2018, where he received nearly 12,000 votes in the historically crowded race. His activism and platform has since resonated with the wider Republican voter base in the state as many citizens have become increasingly frustrated with the current Democrat majority leadership
