In this special episode of I’m Still Here, Heather sits down with her son Ty to talk openly about his adoption journey, growing up as a brown child in a rural community, and what it’s been like navigating identity, belonging, and difference.

Ty shares his story of being adopted from India, what family means when you don’t share DNA, and the moments that shaped how he sees himself and the world. Together, they talk about racism, being pulled over, finding confidence, developing empathy, and how music became Ty’s way of expressing his life experiences.

This is an honest, real conversation about growing up different, learning to be comfortable in your own skin, and finding your people — even when it isn’t easy.
