This is a really special one for me! I know I always say that, and it is true, every guest I have is special, but this is MiMi—my best friend!

We discuss her time in the Navy, her relationship with her mom, her coming out story, her senior year of high school when she lived on her own, family dynamics, shame, love, race, women supporting women...
