This week was have a real treat on our Trendy Talk Podcast!
We had a chance to interview author Cara Meredith!
She is married to James Meredith, the son of civil rights icon James Howard Meredith. She was taught that the idea of a “colorblind” or “post-racial” society was a naive myth. Her book The Color of Life: A Journey toward Love and Racial Justice sheds light on this important topic.
You can listen to our talk and the entire episode here:
You can also purchase her book here:
Hope you check it out and subscribe for more awesome Trendy Talks every week!

Great interview!

This sounds great. Will definitively have to listen to this interview. Indeed, character is what I judge people by and not race , color or creed.

The color justice and non-judgement are the things I was raised with. It doesn’t matter to me what color the person’s skin is. Love the book!
