This episode is in honor of Rachel Held Evans who inspired much of Marla's deconstruction and decolonizing journey. We discuss Marla's book, how she wrestled with her faith beliefs, what/who she lost, what she's gained, her passion for books and people, and lastly she turns the tables and asks me about my book What Children Remember.
31: Andrea Kingsley Miller
Today's episode is with my closest friend Andrea Kingsley Miller. We recorded this episode at Andrea's home during the weekend of my birthday weekend and it was easily one of the BEST birthdays I've ever celebrated. Having Andrea as a friend has honestly been the gift I didn't know I needed. She is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I've ever met and I am so glad that we both took a chance at getting to know each other and being intentional about growing our Instagram conversations into an actual friendship. On this episode we discuss the following:
—Why I'll never be anyone's token Black friend
—The importance of safe friendship
—Being your full self in relationships
—The grief experienced when relationships end
