Early lessons and upbringing As the youngest of five siblings , Linda grew up knowing what it felt like to be an outsider . “ My family was a well-established entity before I came along ,” she explains , “ so I needed to figure out how to be accepted by the pack , as I called them . Being the outcast taught me very quickly how to read the room and to know when I wasn ’ t accepted , so I know what it feels like to be excluded from a group .” kroger . com 5
