Description

What if, when it came to marriage and raising kids, you felt like the only one who never got the manual?
Clifton Powell, the award-winning actor who’s appeared in over 100 films and countless television shows, lost his mother at age four and was raised by a father who was dealing with his own struggles. But what if one day, a stranger handed you a book that changed the way you saw everything, Would you dismiss the experience as a fluke and keep it moving? Or would you consider the possibility that it might be the guidebook for life that you’d always wanted?

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.
