Racial identity is a major topic. It might come up in conversation, on a job application, or in speaking with young people. How and why does it seem to always surface?
This is a falsity around race. We are all human beings. We are members of a human family.
In this episode, Chelsi and Dr. Catherine Meeks wrestle with these tough questions and it includes Dr. Meeks' story of how she identifies with her racial identity and the journey it took her to get there.
