Show Notes
I branched out from my comfort zone and actually read a memoir! The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore follows the extremely different lives of two men with the same name examining how two black men born streets away from each other could have such drastically different lives. The author is a Rhodes Scholar and the "other" Wes Moore is serving a life sentence. I spend some time talking about the genre, question what made their paths diverge, and wonder if one's fate could have been the other's.
