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 to 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.
I trust you will post more like that later on.Appreciative for sharing such mind blowing information. https://www.flying-together.net/
Thank you for your podcast, it was interesting to listen and understand some of the theses. In fact, now many just order papers on sites like https://domypaper.me/ but those talented writers who touch on important topics always stand out from the crowd

ty for this.
Ashamed to be white? Please all races and ethnic groups have trash. White skin privilege? How about black coworkers who make the same mistakes as whites on the job, but they get more chances or don't get fired because the company us scared to take action because the person is Black. While racism exists, so does the free black pass. No black person who's heavily pushing anti racism acknowledges that. But blacks seem too look at democrats for safety, but democrats have screwed black people time and time again. Yet the blame is white citizens. Asians have disliked blacks and are openly racist, yet the focus again, is whites. Spaces that are all white? Maybe it's because there are no blacks who feel comfortable going to a primary white space. It's not that they are not accepted. Just like whites would feel odd going to an all black place. It's culture differences. Has nothing to do with skin color when it comes to that. There's lots of black colleges, no whites, but this is looked over
Talk about a racial baiting podcast.... Kept asking racial questions as if they were valid and the girl said no, not at all many times....
I feel that way in the house my husband built. He has this way of telling a story to new neighbors that leaves questions hanging about me. I won't turn into him, full of revenge over a less than perfect childhood. So very tired of it all. I visit or call shortly after and will explain to who visited. With no place to go, and I have to leave, every day is living alone within alone. This podcast is excellent in every way. I wonder if living in a collective of women, like minded but keeping individuality, there might be merit in solving some women's issues. I know racism would fade fast if it even showed at all. Women band together for good.
On target in so many ways. I am a 74 year old who spent a career as "the only one in . . ." So many thoughts cross my mind. Glad to discovered you.
good
the trailer did instantly caught my attention! this is a must-to-listen podcast💛
I love this podcast.
