221 | Dr. Wayne Curtis "Never Judge a book by its cover"

from Colors: A Dialogue on Race in America · host The Colors Podcast

They say first impressions matter — but they’re not always right. You’ve heard the phrase, “don’t judge a book by its cover,” and it holds true far beyond the pages of a novel. Someone’s appearance, voice, or background might tell part of their story, but never the whole truth. The quietest person in the room may have the loudest courage.

Because beneath the surface, every person carries a story you haven’t heard yet. This is the story of Dr. Wayne Curtis, a man who came up the rough side of the mountain.Tweet us at @podcastcolors. Check out our partner program on international affairs, Global with JJ Green on Substack.
