Episode notes

"There's a lot of colorism based self-hatred that, you know, goes both ways," she says. "I grew up thinking white women deserve to be treated kind of a second class." Her father was an immigrant who didn't speak the way other black people did and lived on the wrong side of the tracks in Indiana. It took her decades to understand or try to understand why he would say those things as a kid.

In this inspiring podcast episode, Anthony Chin-Quee, a medical professional and author, shares his journey of self-discovery and how it changed his life for the better. Through his unflinching examination of what it means to be a physician, he discovered the power of storytelling in helping to forgive himself and others, which allowed him to chart a new way forward. His memoir, "I Can't Save You," is an honest and human account of his struggles with relationships, feelings of inadequacy, and a fear of failure, and how looking within transformed his life.
