Description

What if all your peers were crushing on each other, but you never even thought about romance until you were in your twenties?
Author Mary Alice Hostetter grew up in a Mennonite family in Lancaster Pennsylvania and attributed her lack of interest in dating to the fact that “mister right” just hadn’t come along yet.
But what would you do if when you were finally struck by cupids arrow, it was a woman and not a man that you were attracted to? Would you suppress your feelings fearing what your parents and eleven brothers and sisters might say? Or would you decide to pursue a romance with the one you 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.
