    This 5 episode series will premiere on October 7th. To grow up P.O.C. in America is to be other, to live on the margins of mainstream experience. So how do people of color emerge from their childhoods and formative years? How is their racial identity formed? How do they find their place in the world? There is no singular answer, of course. There’s a multitude of perspectives drawn from lived experience, from triumph and travail, the extraordinary and the mundane. In Growing Up P.O.C., veteran journalist Soledad O’Brien speaks with five luminaries (Sunny Hostin, Marcus Samuelsson, Alicia Garza, Tommy Orange and Chad Sanders) about how they navigated their upbringings and how they survive and thrive today. No matter who you are, you will find flashes of familiar and unknown. These conversations are revelatory, funny, engaging, and illuminating. And they’re necessary. By one estimate, America will be minority white in 2045. In other words, there will be more people of color than white people in the US. As we all move toward a more diverse landscape, hopefully these insights and perspectives will help erode feelings of “them” and “they” and bring us ever closer to “we.”

makes you think

I'm black all the way through from mother and father so I want to get the aspect of someone who was born from 2 parents of different races. I wondered often do" half blacks" feel the same way I do about the culture. This did shine some light on that.

Great perspectives

As a white guy who grew up in Wisconsin, it's great to hear the perspectives and lived experience of others. Too often some people think just because they didn't experience racism or hardship, that must mean that's how it is for everyone else. Stories like this reminds us to be more empathetic and understanding of each other.

Growing Up POC

Speaking truth to power! These are courageous conversations. I’m disappointed in the reviews above because the content & performance are engaging. Wish I’d been able to hear this when I was growing up.

Interesting Dialogue

Intriguing to hear the stories of accomplished POC with varied and similar experiences. A common thread among the narratives is purpose and persistence. I hope to have an answer for both in my own life, sooner rather than later.
