THE SECRET ROOM | UNLOCKED
Deja, like Lexie on today's show, is black and raised by white parents. But her experience was different. On the outside she seemed like the perfect pastor's kid. But her secret was that on the inside she was living in conflict with everything she was taught and never knew how to make all of those pieces fit together. Host: Susie Lark.
