Austin Channing Brown (@AustinChanning) is a writer & speaker who does a lot of work around racial justice in America. She called in to chat with Tom and share some hard truths about her experience growing up black, female, and Christian in middle-class white America.

Warning- this episode does deal with some pretty heavy stuff, because, you know, history is horrible a lot of the time. Pick up a copy of Austin's new book, 'I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness' wherever you buy your books!
