Two Women, One Honest Conversation About Rаce


Listen Later

Two educated women - a black doctor in the UK and a white entrepreneur in the US - have a heart to heart about race today and how to change the system.

We talk about growing up black in a "white man's world" and the experiences of the police being called because you were driving while black and being asked if the house you're living in is yours.  

Maya (not her real name) talks about how a 13 year old girl learns quickly that she's different and how she has to be twice as smart and work twice as hard as the white kids to be given a chance.  

She considers herself an "anomaly" because of the education she was given and the privilege that she grew up in and how she used her doctor's position as a shield and protection against everyday racism.  

We talk about her and other people of color around the world starting to speak up and starting to not ignore comments and signs of racism.  

Maya has an Incredible fighting spirit that makes her believe that you can become whatever you want to become.  Listen and learn from this beautiful soul with a generous heart!

And learn to find the answer to this question - who it is in your neighborhood that makes the decisions that will have the impact? And act on that information with your vote.
