My guest today is matthew anthony, formerly Matthew Charles. Matthew is the host of little did u know, a podcast that centers the lived experiences—the learned and inherited wisdom—of transracial adoptees. He is also a poet, and his debut poetry collection, You Can Not Burn The Sun (2020), is sold out, and he is currently working on book 2. Today, Matthew shares his adoption story, how the absence of conversations on race effected his identity formation, the role faith plays in his life, and how creating art is saving his life. matthew shares one of his poems with us, If My Black Body Were more like the black body of a gun.
