August 17, 2023 🎙️ Bonus Episode: Hidden Wounds
🚨 Season 2 Drops In September! 🚨
In this special bonus episode of The Liberation Lab Podcast, we dive deep into the reality of "Hidden Wounds" with our incredible guest, Hannah Jackson Matthews.
About Hannah:
Hannah Jackson Matthews, a product of intertwined heritages – born to a white birth mother and Black birth father in Kansas City, Missouri, and privately adopted into the Jackson family in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Amid a suburban childhood with loving older brothers, she faced the interruptions of bias in a town where her brown skin and curly hair were rare. This search for belonging led her to discover solace in the voices of Ella Fitzgerald, Q-Tip, and Audre Lorde, forming deep bonds within her community and birthing a family of her own. Ultimately, Hannah found her missing piece – herself – and now dedicates herself to guiding transracial foster youth and adoptees on their journey to self-discovery.
Hannah's odyssey began with a dual heritage, bridging a white birth mother and Black birth father in Kansas City, Missouri. Adopted into the Jackson family, she navigated a suburban upbringing alongside her adoring older brothers in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. Yet, her journey was punctuated by bias in a community where her unique features were rare. In her quest for belonging, the soulful melodies of Ella Fitzgerald, the verses of Q-Tip, and the wisdom of Audre Lorde became her guiding lights. Bonds flourished within her community, and her union with a wonderful Black man bore the fruit of two beloved brown children. This expedition culminated in Hannah's self-discovery – recognizing that she was her own missing piece. Today, she wholeheartedly supports the self-discovery journey of transracial foster youth and adoptees, echoing her transformative path.
