Willoughby Hills with Heath Racela

108. Activist Saira Rao on American Racism and Gun Violence


Listen Later

Saira Rao is an author, filmmaker, and activist. Along with Regina Jackson, Saira founded the group Race 2 Dinner in 2019, which encourages white women to have radically honest conversations about race. The dinners were so popular that Saira and Regina distilled their essence into the book White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better and the film Deconstructing Karen. Saira is also the cofounder of Here 4 the Kids, a group working to end gun violence.

Saira joins Heath to discuss the racial issues that plague our country, how race and guns are intertwined, and how solving for gun violence is the first step in beginning to dismantle racism.
