Description

What if two strange men arrived at your school with your mother, and told you and your brother to get into a waiting car?
Leading strategist, TEDx speaker, and mentor, Joon Han, was just a kid when immigration officers showed up and put his whole family on a plane, back to the place where his parents were born, South Korea.
But what would you do if after being deported, your parents arranged for you and your brother to return to the United States and live with strangers, a white family who had answered an ad in the local paper, offering to take you in? Would you run away so you didn’t have to be across the ocean from your mother and father? Or would you fly back to the States with your brother, ready to meet your new family?

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.
