40. Inspiring Story -- Grace Wabuke Klein

This week, I cannot wait for you to hear my friend, Grace Wabuke Klein as she vulnerably shares her story. She will open your eyes to what it was like for her to grow up in America as an African American woman.  I love that she is helping raise awareness in the tone of hope.  Grace also shares 4 practical steps to help us move toward unity from the Good Samaritan parable.  I promise you do not want to miss her wisdom.

In addition, I highly recommend you reading Grace’s powerful story by decade on Instagram @gracewabukeklein.  I know her posts will inspire you to want to lean in and better understand racism. Honestly, I cannot wait to read Grace's entire story in her soon to be released book, The Neighbor Next Door.

Lastly, Grace shares about flourishing in the winter season. Being single for two decades before meeting her husband, Grace shares what God revealed to her about Depth.  Honestly, it is one of my favorite parts of our conversation.

Friends, I promise you do not want to miss the nuggets of truth from my friend, Grace.
