Description

What if the world told you that you were wrong? Not just wrong for the things you thought or said but that you were the actual embodiment of wrong.
D'Loco Kid or D'Lo grew up in a small, immigrant community in a Los Angeles suburb. And he knew from an early age that he wasn't like other girls but he never had the language to explain how he felt.
What would you do if you only had two choices: live inauthentically in an attempt to keep everyone "happy" or live in your truth and risk becoming an outcast?

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.
