About this listen

Naima Shalhoub and Bela Pasin had very different childhoods. One grew up in a Lebanese household, the other in India before moving to the U.S. — yet both were taught, without words, that lighter skin and whiteness were somehow better. In this raw and honest episode, they discuss how those subconscious messages affected their sense of identity and self-worth. Together, they unpack the ways negative attitudes based on race shows up across cultures and the surprising ways they’ve found healing.
