Episode 2 - 🎙️ New Podcast Episode: “Explaining Water to a Fish” 🎙️

What does it mean to be White in America? In this provocative and eye-opening episode, we explore the often-invisible contours of White American culture—how it's constructed, what it's missing, and why so many are afraid of losing something they never fully understood they had.

🔍 Questions we confront head-on:

  • How do you explain water to a fish—or American culture to a White American?
  • How did White Americans come to fear the loss of something they gained through systems they rarely question?

Using metaphors from martial arts to air travel, we unpack how growth, identity, and power operate in a society shaped by race—and how the journey from “white belt” to “black belt” is not just about skill, but struggle.

✊🏽 This isn’t about guilt—it’s about awareness. When Black pilots face more turbulence to reach the same cockpit, we all have a responsibility to see it. We help others by helping ourselves.

Tune in now. Challenge your assumptions. Join the conversation.
