Lauren Brooks is a biracial woman working in Kettering, Ohio. Often, she’s been the only person of color at the table of power. Lauren has had to learn the importance of having a counselor who can understand her and her experiences, the importance of Black mentors, and the importance of objective counseling. In this episode, we talk about why Lauren dislikes church and the major component of every woman’s experience: hair.
