Memoir Series: Growing Pains 7 - Hometown Racism and Christmas (Launch Your Life Podcast Episode 168)
There’s no easy way to talk about racism.

I didn’t know anything different. But I actively worked to see how I was raised and change this.
And I'm still a work in progress.
Today on the Launch Your Life Podcast, I’m talking about the racist history of my home town and Christmas, among other things
