Bullying is an obstacle for many kids navigating childhood, but what can you do if the education system that is supposed to protect you is a part of the problem? This is the question many are asking after a Black and autistic 10-year-old Utah girl died by suicide after being continuously bullied. While attending the vigil for the little girl, Izzy, Relentlisley Resilient host Michelle Scharff met Joshua Chamberlain, a young Black professional who knows firsthand what it is like to be a bullied minority student in Utah. He joins this episode to discuss his experiences, how to cultivate resilience in the fight against racism, and what everyone can do to support and protect minorities among us. 

Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
