Episode 21: The Racism In Me
It can be easy to point fingers. “They’re racist!” And yes, admittedly, it can be easier to see racism in other people than in ourselves. But if we’re honest, racism can be found in all of us.
Join Andrea and Hostion on this honest conversation about the racism that is found in all of us. Together they’ll discuss how the systems of whiteness shape our understanding of ourselves, within the white community and within communities of colour. There are ways to realize it and more importantly, ways to change it. Normalize the conversation and normalize the reality so we can all change it and be a better world together.
