Accepting Others

My name is Joe and I created this podcast believing that many Americans, if presented authentic testimony of systemic racism, will support changes to achieve "liberty and justice for all". Through unscripted, engaging, and very personal conversations about America's racial issues, it is my sincere desire to help white Americans become more empathetic, anti-racist citizens. Will you join me on this important journey of building a bridge to a new America? I encourage you to use our new easy to use self-recording feature on our website at MyAwakeningPodcast.com and become a part of this conversation. I hope that you too believe that America's best days are still ahead of us. Please subscribe and engage with My Awakening Podcast.
