Episode 4: Finding Strength in Connection, Featuring Will Cantine and Lindsey Fuller
For years, Will Cantine felt like he had to prove himself over and over again. He was often doubted, questioned and treated unfairly — just for being himself. It took a toll. But then something changed. In this episode, Cantine shares with his fellow educator, Lindsey Fuller, what changed and why it matters.

Episode 5: The Unlearning, Featuring Naima Shalhoub and Bela Pasin
Naima Shalhoub and Bela Pasin had very different childhoods. One grew up in a Lebanese household, the other in India before moving to the U.S. — yet both were taught, without words, that lighter skin and whiteness were somehow better. In this raw and honest episode, they discuss how those subconscious messages affected their sense of identity and self-worth. Together, they unpack the ways negative attitudes based on race shows up across cultures and the surprising ways they’ve found healing.
