Description

We are so excited to have just wrapped our Season 2 of The Only One In The Room that we wanted to spend some time over the next four weeks re-releasing some of YOUR favorite episodes!

And if you're one of our dedicated listeners, now is a great time to share with a friend! DM us a selfie of you sharing The Only One In The Room for some dope merch we'll send your way. 
And we'll be back with a brand new Season 3 on October 15th!
*******************************************************
What if the people who cared for you and raised you, also caused you pain and confusion? And what if when you grew up and looked to others for affection suffering and love had become so conflated that you found yourself accepting the unacceptable again and again?
When producer, director, actress and activist AnnaLynne McCord was a teenager she was raped by a trusted friend. Thinking somehow she was at fault she stayed silent about this painful event for years.
What would you do if your silence about abuse or sexual assault was eating you alive. Would you succumb to the hopelessness and look for ways to end your life or would you find your voice and speak your truth for all the world to hear?

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.
