Education
America is one great nation divided by inequality and race, contradicting its independent name, "United." Today my friend Kristy Millen joined us in the podcast to chat this sensitive topic about racism. Kristy is a fearless, beautiful woman of color who will share her personal life experience dealing with racism. Now is the right time to stand up for them. Keeping silent in this time of other's needs isn't the right option. Never be afraid of voicing out for others, they need our support and voice to speak out the truth. Imagine if all the people who believe and fight for what is right would stand up for them? Support them and empower them? That might end the long history of racism in this world. Highlights: Racism encounters that people are getting used to and treating it as "normal" when, in fact, it's not.
