Losing the Lamanites - Sarah Newcomb (NW Coastal Tribes - Tsimshian) | Ep. 757

Continuing our series on “Losing the Lamanites,” we interview Sarah Newcomb who descends from the Tsimshian of the NW Coastal Tribes. In this interview we cover:

*Sarah's struggle with internalized racism as a youth

*How she worked her way through college in Rexburg, ID & acquired a degree in Communications/Journalism.

*How her husband ignored the Mormon admonition against interracial marriage, out of love for Sarah.

*Her avoidance of dancing (and other native customs) and shame over her skin color

*How she used her knowledge of sourcing (seeking original documentation) to discover many of the problems with LDS church history and doctrine, all before discovering the CES Letter.

*How Mormon Stories Podcast validated her feelings, and provided strength and a sense of community during her faith transition.

*How she now embraces her life in the sun, and is on a journey to connect to the heritage and identity she felt forced to distance herself from while a member of the LDS Church.

We thank Sarah for sharing her powerful, beautiful story and know that it will touch lives!
