What if our family is passing along a mindset that we are inherently better than others.... without even knowing it?

Dr. Nate Essex, President Emeritus of Southwest Community College, is the special guest in this episode of the Family Bytes Podcast. Dr. Essex grew up as an African American in the deep south, during the height of racial segregation. He discusses  how his upbringing within his home and community shaped the trajectory of his life, despite a demoralizing time in where he was judged by the color of his skin.
