Shownotes Transcript

In this episode Toni McCord and Sharday Dufresne share their incredible stories of growing up Black while being raised by their adopted white parents in predominantly white communities. Each of them share their unique experiences of what it was like to receive love at home but enter the world in confusion about their race and belonging. Their stories personify what is it like to live in a world that doesn't feel your own as an outlier trying to identify your roots and your sense of self.
