What happens when you try to explain your mixed background to others when you are trying to learn about your background yourself? This episode is about Maya’s story, a Haitian, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Natchez Indian and creole woman living in Dallas, Texas whose life has been full of self-discovery, learning, and dedication to living her truth.
