Jamie Corbin is an educator and storyteller who has been navigating whiteness and non-whiteness her entire life thanks to her own interracial adoption at birth and her interracial marriage to her best friend, Kelvin, in 2011.
She is raising her three Afro-Latina daughters to change the world with love, by first loving themselves deeply and then sharing that love generously with others.
She is passionate about using stories to build connection and empathy with others and supporting people as they learn to become better allies for one another.
