Ep. 61: Michelle Beller is a multiracial former Ironman Triathlete-turned-writer who is now pursuing work that is deeply personal.

In addition, Michelle is a vocal advocate for women’s rights especially in the effort to end violence against women.  Listen as Michelle tells Alex how this issue and the issue of race are inextricably linked.
