Texas Public Radio: Worth Repeating

Abby talks about the often-confusing experiences of being a transracial adoptee. 

Adoptee and birth mother, Abby Hasberry, talks about her Ghost Kingdom, her ideal family, and how it showed up and influenced her “decisions” as a birth mother. 

 Abby Hasberry joins us to talk about the importance of adult transracial adoptees developing a positive racial identity. We can’t develop that as children (nor as adults) when racial mirrors and cultural experiences are nonexistent. Abby shares some tools and strategies we can use to do this work of racial reclamation, and she addresses a common fear and question, “but is this cultural appropriation?”. 

Time is not the greatest healer. So what is? Aha moments. Those moments when we see something new for ourselves. Insights. Quite literally sights from within. And insights from others can catalyse insights in us. Listen in as adoptee, therapist and birth mother Abby shares some of her most profound aha moments. They helped me see things I'd not seen before. I'm sure they'll do the same for you.
