Description

What if one year after your youngest son was born, you were diagnosed with stage four cancer?
Leadership coach, author and podcaster, Heather Chauvin’s family went into action, using their connections to make sure that Heather was seen quickly.
So what would you do if you realized that folks from the non-dominant culture might have had a completely different experience, and the only reason that you were alive was because of the color of your skin? Would you keep this information to yourself? Or would you talk about, all about it, and shine a light on this discrepancy?

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.
