Stick With It Stories: A Storyteller Tackles His Own Uncomfortable Story About Race
Our new \u201cStick With It\u201d series on the Top of Mind podcast kicks off with storyteller Sam Payne sharing how he tackled his own uncomfortable story about race. In this episode, Sam talks about a time he was asked to perform a story about race at a conference. He was embarrassed to decline the invitation because he didn't think he had story to tell. He is a white man living in a non-racially diverse community and felt that he had nothing to contribute. But as he leaned into the discomfort, he was surprised by what he learned about his own racial identity and community. Tune into this conversation to hear how Sam handled the uncomfortable truths he discovered.\n\nWe\u2019re talking with listeners about a time when they felt their own perspective challenged and made the choice to stick with that discomfort \u2013 to lean into it \u2013 and they\u2019re glad they did. Join the conversation by emailing your "Stick With It" story to topofmind@byu.edu.\n\nGUEST:\nSam Payne, storyteller, host of The Apple Seed podcast, director of audio content and BYUradio.
