Linda Holdbrook did not see herself as a person to lead change, but when the recent racial conflict erupted she felt compelled to speak. As a young Black woman, an immigrant of African parents, and a faithful Catholic, Linda realized her voice mattered, and so penned a powerful letter to Bishop McGrattan sharing her vision for how the Church can be the change in today's conflicted world. In this episode of Finding Faith, we hear Linda tell us what she wrote in her letter to her bishop, and how she believes the church can be a leader in moving beyond race.
