What if the world told you that you were wrong? Not just wrong for the things you thought or said but that you were the actual embodiment of wrong. D'Loco Kid or D'Lo grew up in a small, immigrant community in a Los Angeles suburb. And he knew from an early age that he wasn't like other girls but he never had the language to explain how he felt. What would you do if you only had two choices: live inauthentically in an attempt to keep everyone "happy" or live in your truth and risk becoming an outcast?

Imagine that completing your degree was a double edged sword? Getting your doctorate might be the crowning achievement for a single mother from Compton, California, but earning your PHd would also put you in rooms where black women had never gone before. Rooms where, even in the new millennium, you might not be wanted or where your voice and opinion might not be valued. Dr. Sharoni Little, CEO, revered thought-leader, global facilitator, media commentator, data analytics expert, author, renowned scholar and professor at the USC Marshall School of Business, put her education aside at age 35, when her twin sons, Jaren and Jared were born. But what would you do if the degree you’d stopped pursuing had an expiration date? And if you didn’t drop everything and complete one final dissertation, all the hard work you’d done and the sacrifices you’d made would have been for nothing. Would you stop your life and make your deadline? Or would you pass, deciding it was better to leave well enough alone?

Imagine being an actress, dating celebrity after celebrity and then (predictably) finding the love of your life on a film set, getting married and having three beautiful babies and then feeling that your life is completely complete. Actress and producer, Kimberly Russell and her husband, Michael Bonewitz, made the decision together to put her acting career on hold while she raised their three children. But a chance encounter with a stranger, a mom at her kid’s school, threw them all an unexpected curveball: Her dying wish was to have Kim and Michael take her five children after she died and raise them as her own. What would you do if you were faced with a question that would change your life and those of an entire family that isn’t your own? Would you do the unimaginable and take on an act of kindness that would be worthy of sainthood? Or would you look for a more reasonable solution in order to protect the family that you had worked so hard to curate.

What if, because of your race, you were termed a model minority, expected to desire the best education and family stability over the so-called champagne life? And what if after getting into college, you found that the luxury lifestyle of your peers was more your speed than the values with which you’d been raised? Angie Wang, screenwriter, director, producer and philanthropist, is a first generation Chinese American woman, who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. When she managed to get herself into one of America’s most prestigious universities, she found herself not just wanting to keep up with the lifestyle of her well-to-do classmates, she wanted to set a new standard of decadence. But what would you do if you discovered that you had a special talent for illegally cooking up a substance which could make you rich beyond your wildest dreams? Would you risk your top-notch education and "break bad"? Covertly using your university chem lab at night to create a popular drug? Or would you choose your family values over the lure of extravagance, and use your talents for good?
