Having empathy has become increasingly important as we try to build a bridge across cultures, races and classes to create a more connected and peaceful society.
My guest today, Wendy Sanford, had to reckon with her own identity and privilege to get to this level of understanding and teach it to others.
In her new memoir, Wendy tells a story of her 60-year friendship with Mary Norman, a Black woman whom she met when they were both teenagers. The daughter of an upper-middle-class suburban family in Princeton, New Jersey, she comes of age within the cultural revolutions of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Informed and fueled by the writings of women of color, she begins to deal with the impact of her training.
In our conversation, we discuss themes that Wendy’s book centers on and how it can help us become more aware of our biases and develop friendships with all types of people.
