Description

When children are bullied by their peers, made fun of for being overweight, dressing differently or being "weird", they usually day dream about becoming "popular", thinking it will be the answer to all of their problems.
Suburban, (aka the Suburban Prince or KingBo) did just that. But rather than becoming popular at school he grew to famedom on the internet with 1.6 million followers. But what if the fortress you had created to protect yourself was quickly becoming a cage? Would you trade your fame in for friendship? Or would you continue to follow your dreams of stardom?

Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully interviews a person about their Only One story each episode and addresses as many of those DM’s as possible in the process. In this podcast, you’ll hear raw, vulnerable accounts from people who are, like most of us, just eager to connect. Our hope is that The Only One In The Room will inspire a change of perspective in how we all see and hear each other’s stories. We want you think twice before judging the person standing next to you at a party, in the pick-up line at school or in a crowded subway car. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever felt alone in a room full of people – which is to say, that this podcast is for everyone.
