And what I overcame is something that maybe you weren't able to. You know what I mean? But it takes the same amount of strength to deal with the storms that come in our lives. And so I personally grew up in just a unique situation.
I grew up. You know, lower middle class. We never went without, but there was never any extra. And my dad is black. My mom is white. And they got together right basically on the backsides. And when that stuff wasn't cool, it wasn't cool for black folks, white folks to be together. And they fought through that adversity to bring me into the world, which I'm so grateful for.

So there was eight of us over in dad's house. And then there was just me and my sister over in mom's house. And every stereotype that you could think of, Heather, existed in these two houses. Like dad's house was the black house, right? Everybody played sports. There was sports on TV all the time. We listened to rap music, hip hop music, gospel.

We had chitlins and collard greens and fried chicken and Kool-Aid like everything. Every stereotype you could think of existed in my dad's house.

Greatest experience of my life because now I can see things from different perspectives, which I'm so thankful for because I didn't grow up in just one culture. But at the time, it was really tough for me. You know, being a teenager, going through all of that stuff, trying to figure out who you are, trying to figure out your identity, all of those things.
