In this episode, Khristi joins me to discuss her new book and her passion behind sharing stories of girls of color that are often overlooked, unseen, and ignored rather than valued and heard. She also shares her story of growing up as a black girl surrounded by white peers and how she found solace and encouragement in the black church she attended.
