One thing I disagree with Ursula mentioned she was called special and felt it was because they had to excuse her being with them (her the references to black). I wasn’t there when it was said but they could have meant rugs to riches the American dream story. When I look at people I don’t see colors or religions…. Yes of course our society has made such. Big deal about it that it permeates my thoughts but like a passing cloud it moves and I see the person. So I believe they may have meant special cause Ursula is special and amazing having achieved her positions by hard work and having not been groomed for it thus breaking out and carving her own yellow brick road (not in money) but in making her dreams her own. Besides this point I agree with usual and the authors in most of the rest and loved the podcast

Worth listening
