Voices is about sharing my voice and the voices of others. It’s about learning and understanding what others have to say, as well as sparking new ideas and getting people thinking in hopes that people will learn more about themselves.
I'm back for what's becoming my annual school project episode and this time it's a great and meaningful topic: transracial adoptees and the transition to college. It's personal to me and has played a big role in the last couple years of my life. I did some research and chatted with some friends. Enjoy!
