In 2019, a room full of people wrote a dream on a whiteboard: courageous souls, standing in the middle, healing the divide. That room became this show. Most people over 40 were handed a story about race in America that was never true. One Voice Evolving is where that story gets taken apart, together. Hosted by Kim Brassor, this is a raw, unscripted conversation series built for people who are done with comfortable lies and ready to do something real about racial equity in their lifetime. Not someday. This lifetime. We talk with leaders, thinkers, and people who've paid the actual cost of telling the truth. No sugarcoating. No both-sides performances. No pretending the system is broken when it's working exactly as designed. If you're over 40 and sitting with the question of what you're actually going to do with the time you have left, you found the right room. Together we have the courage. New episodes every Sunday at Noon EST. Subscribe. Show up. This conversation won't wait. I'm Kim Brassor - writer, storyteller, and woman in her third act who finally stopped paying that price. This is One Voice Evolving. A podcast for women and leaders over 40 - especially White women - who are waking up to what the silence has taken, and are done letting it take anything more. This isn't about fixing yourself. You were never broken. It's about telling the truth in a room full of people who've been taught to swallow it. It's about reclaiming the voice that was always yours — and learning to lead with it. Raw, real, and relatable. We call it the Circle of Voices Evolving. We stay in the room. We name what happened. And we become, out loud, who we were always meant to be. If you've been told you're too much - good. You're in the right place. New episodes every Sunday. Let's evolve - together and out loud.

    EP 106 Allyship vs. Accountability: Amanda Gross on White Women and Race

    Kim speaks with organizer and author Amanda Gross about her book Get Ready White Women and the larger question of how white women can engage in anti-racism work with honesty, accountability, and staying power. The conversation centers on intersectionality, healing justice, and the tension between urgency and the slow work of changing systems and self. Amanda Gross shares the book’s origins in her organizing practice, the historical roots of white womanhood, and the specific archetypes she uses to explain how race, gender, and class shape behavior. They also discuss affinity spaces, criticism, strategic participation in multiracial settings, and why the work has to be done in community.

    EP 104 The Midlife Wake-Up Good Girls Need Now | Angela Burk

    The advice good girls are given in midlife is exactly what keeps them stuck. Angela Burk, author of The Real Girls Guide to Midlife, joins Kim Brassor to unpack why radical self-possession matters more than radical self-acceptance when your needs, voice, and future are finally asking for center stage. Angela shares the moment her own life started to split open, from the early perimenopause confusion in her 30s to the slow-burn realization in her 40s that competency, people-pleasing, and “being the trusted one” were costing her too much. Kim brings her own hard-won perspective on menopause, guilt, divorce, motherhood, and the pressure to stay small, and together they name the systems, habits, and inherited scripts that keep women over 40 apologizing for wanting more.
