Description
In today’s episode, Sharon is joined by Esau McCaulley for a powerful conversation about his new book, How Far to the Promised Land. In his memoir, he took the story of his family and showed the struggles of Black people in America intergenerationally. Esau shares how it’s vital to understand how the stories of our ancestors – though they might seem insignificant – impact and shape generations to come. In a country that highly values “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps,” and the underdog, Esau questions the narrative that we achieve entirely on our own, and asks why our society requires exceptionalism from Black people. Special thanks to our guest, Esau McCaulley, for joining us today. Host/Executive Producer: Sharon McMahonGuest: Esau McCaulleyAudio Producer: Jenny Snyder Hosted on Acast.
