Description

When you look down at your hands, your thoughts probably don't lead you much further than the mundane. But what if you've never seen anyone who resembles you? Who has your nose or your laugh or even your sense of humor. Laura House, a renowned comedian, screenwriter on two Emmy award winning shows and a corporate meditation teacher, went through life admiring other children's ability to simply know where they came from. She grew up with a loving, caring and supportive family who she cherishes but what if you can change your only one story, from the adopted one to the one who finally sees not just her image but her smile and her stance reflected back at her 48 years later?  For More on Laura House:  Website_ Laura House  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/imlaurahouse/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-house-8228a52/ X:  Laura House (@imlaurahouse) / X (twitter.com)IMDB - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0396680/ Stand up comedy - http://www.laurahouse.com/standupBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/only-one-in-the-room--6052418/support.

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.
