In this episode, I invited my best friend Jazmyn to be a guest and share her very unique story about growing up as one of two women of color in a very conservative community and high school.
When she was younger and even during the Black Lives Matter movement, it was hard for her to comprehend how people didn't understand the depth of racial issues happening in our country and in Utah.
Me being her best friend, I didn''t understand- the way I lived life was dedicated to a religion that was heavily focused on white privilege. It wasn't until she opened up and shared her experience that I made the decision to get educated.
Being raised in a conservative culture has it's own set of challenges when trying to see the world through a different lens. Our identities mirrored what the mormon church taught- I realized that by staying in the faith, I had to be comfortable with not knowing who and what I truly stood for.
I believe that by sharing our stories, we can help others find strength and encouragement in their own life journey. Please subscribe to Own Your Story Podcast Channel to follow my journey and tune into listening to other people's amazing life stories.
