Should I Be Satisfied with Being a "Good" Person? Episode 8 with Erin Clemons

This week I’m talking to Hamilton's  Erin Clemons, who recently played Eliza on tour & is the standby on Broadway! We get into that and how Hamilton was the first time she felt that she could truly be herself in a show.  We also discuss her journey to embracing a concept of beauty that includes her body type, skin tone and hair texture as a biracial woman and explore ways to engage people who don’t see racial injustice in their daily lives. It's all the things!

Our email (1:05:00) this week is about how to know if your hand sanitizer is safe.
