This episode is different. It’s raw, honest, and necessary.

Lisa shares her personal experiences as a Black woman navigating racism—both in her own life and in raising biracial children. From feeling isolated in Munich to the realities her sons face at school, this is a conversation that needs to be heard.

We dive into the difficult but crucial discussions that should happen within families and communities to ensure that racism isn’t ignored, dismissed, or brushed aside. Because avoiding the conversation only allows the cycle to continue.

This episode might feel heavy, but these are the conversations that move us forward. Listen now, reflect, and let’s keep the conversation going.
