Welcome to Season 2 of The “Race, Health & Happiness” Podcast! This season is about “Game Changers”, people who are dismantling institutional racism in their own fields, teaching us how to do it, or how to support it, while we thrive.

In this episode, I speak with author and "ghostwriter" Kern Carter about the strategies he has used to create his own path in the publishing industry, where institutional racism is alive and well but HE is coming out on top! This episode has great lessons and nourishment for the mind.
