This week, she’s joined by her longtime (but somewhat long lost) friend, DEEN OOZEER! If the last name rings a bell, that may be because both of his parents are beloved retired grade school teachers. His dad taught AND coached Tori and holds a very special place in her heart. Deen talks about the reality of having such influential parents, what it’s like being a person of color from a small town and candidly tells the story of his adoption. Enjoy!
