Alethia's Story
Harmful Content Warning: This episode contains raw language including racial slurs, as well as discussions of domestic violence and systemic trauma.Alethia joins me to talk about a childhood defined by internal racism and the messy reality of growing up in a toxic home. We dive into the moment her world shifted when a DNA test completely dismantled her family’s origin story, replacing it with a hidden history she never saw coming. It’s an honest, sometimes uncomfortable look at the shame that follows a DNA surprise and the heavy emotional cost of carrying secrets you didn't even know existed.Resources Mentioned:Right to KnowDNAngels and Search AngelsOne Drop: My Father's Hidden Life - A Story of Race and Family Secrets by Bliss BroyardFinding Me: A Memoir by Viola DavisGreenlights by Matthew McConaugheyThe Color of Water by James McBrideI Take My Coffee Black by Tyler MerrittReflections: A Window Into My Soul by Alethia SternNPE Stories PatreonNPE Stories facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/NPEstories
