We start our discussion with Dr. Barbara by asking her "what does racism mean to you?" -- as an individual, lived experience as a black woman in America, and what that means to her. Dr Barbara shares her powerful personal story, and how we can be hopeful & shape the future that is kind, equal, inclusive, and empowering for everyone.
