Today's episode features special guests Tiara Farmer, a registered nurse, and Craig Bell, a real estate agent, sharing their experience of being black in America. We look at this topic from the different perspectives of a man and a woman and begin by asking them what they love most about black culture. Their answers are rich from food to dance to music and entertainment. We then dive into the harder things they struggle with on a regular basis, like being afraid of the police or feeling embarrassment when someone with their skin color acts out in public. Tiara and Craig share some of the experiences they've had being mistreated due to the color of their skin and how they've worked to combat racial stereotypes. Their vulnerability and openness about the pain and disappointment of inter-racial friendships is very moving. And we end on a note of hope talking about the ways to make progress towards racial healing and understanding.
