Lisa Sharon Harper is an author, activist, and professor. She's written multiple books including The Very Good Gospel and Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and the World and How to Repair it all.
In this episode, Lisa shares how she didn't set out to write the book, Fortune, but to learn who she was. In the process she uncovered the complex twists and turns of the development race laws in the United States. She urges us to learn our stories and learn that we can change the power dynamics in our culture if we choose.
