Inherited Stories
We were all born into a system we didn’t create — but we all play a role in whether it continues.
Inspired by Why Don’t You See What I See: Breaking the Cycle of Systemic Racism, authored by co-host Adia Holmes, "Inherited Stories" extends the conversation beyond the page. Co-hosted by Adia and Elisha, this podcast creates space with grace for growth — inviting candid dialogue about systemic racism, blind spots, and the behaviors that sustain or interrupt inequity.
This is not a space for shame or silence — it’s a space for clarity, courage, and consistent action.
