Amal Berry: Comfortable in Her Own Skin

While all the white kids' moms sent bologna on Wonderbread to school, Amal Berry's mom packed her "weird" stuff like hummus and kibbeh. Finally, the proud day came: she opened her lunch, saw the coveted white bread sandwich, and took a bite...it was terrible. It turns out her native Lebanese cuisine was not only better tasting, it was healthy too!  Berry joins Alan to talk about growing up ethnic and how that informs her daily life...as a parent and the chief diversity officer at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
