The saying is true...Doubt kills more dream than failure ever will. Today’s podcast episode was especially important for me to get out because this is something I personally struggle with and am learning to overcome. If there is one thing I know, it is that I am typically not alone in my struggle. If I am struggling with something, then someone out there is struggling and needs to hear that they are not alone and that they too can overcome.

Often times, on the road to pursuing purpose we are faced with hardships and difficulties -- this is a given. However, for a person of color like myself, I have found the challenges to be even more difficult because sometimes depending on the environment, circumstance, and people we encounter, racism is added to the mix. What do you do when you are a person of color pursuing purpose in a field where you are often the only person of color in the room? How do you react when you are unfairly treate...
