About this listen

 Racism is that awkward and uncomfortable topic that doesn't seem to go away. Everyone knows about it, some experience it, few talk about it. Two friends, Thoraya and Julian, have decided to take one for the team and have the uncomfortable conversations about racism, in the hopes of making the world a more understanding place.

    You're so pretty, FOR A ...
    Dec 30 2024

    Have you ever been told you're pretty for a 'fat' person, smart for a brown person, or strong for a short person? Have you heard comments like these and felt some type of way but haven't quite known why? Sometimes we're able to classify these as a backhanded compliment. What they are though, are microagressions. In this episode, Thoraya and Julian discuss what microagressions are and why they're so problematic.


    You'll hear how self reflection leads to growth and development, one of the ultimate objectives for this podcast.
