Our 10-minute speaker from the October Sparks After Hours was Amy Shankland. Amy shares some of the things she learned while writing her book, Interviews By A Clueless White Woman.
In 2020, the United States not only faced the devastation of COVID-19 but also witnessed widening gaps for marginalized groups during a time when it was critical to band together with compassion.
Now more than ever, millions of individuals continue to face obstacles many of us cannot even begin to grasp. These are people who struggle because they have “otherness”. Perhaps they are people of color or members of the LGBTQ+ community. Or both. Maybe they have physical, mental, or emotional disabilities. Perhaps they practice a religion other than Christianity.
In Interviews by a Clueless White Woman, Amy Thornton Shankland shares stories of individuals who have experienced and continue to experience turmoil. It is her hope that these stories help increase understanding and unite us in our humanity.
