  • From Willfully Ignorant to Awakened Ally: A Conversation About Race and Politics

    From Willfully Ignorant to Awakened Ally: A Conversation About Race and Politics
    Apr 3 2025

    In this powerful debut episode, Quentin sits down with Hannah Stanton—a woman who grew up steeped in conservative ideology but underwent a profound transformation following Donald Trump’s election. With raw honesty, Hannah unpacks her upbringing: being taught that slavery was “not that bad,” that racial hierarchy was natural, and how those toxic beliefs shaped her early worldview.

    Then, the turning point. Hannah reveals how motherhood, her journey through corporate America’s DEI spaces, and a reckoning with truth shattered her old mindset—leading her to embrace progressive values. This isn’t just a political conversion story; it’s a deeply human conversation about unlearning hate, confronting uncomfortable pasts, and the messy work of growth.

    Tune in for an unflinching dialogue on race, identity, and what it really takes to change in a divided nation.
