A Longer Table

130: Why Do We Tear People Down for Being Different Than Us?

Listen Later

Jenai is a writer, artist, Filipina woman who holds stories and makes space for others. She addresses the cultures of marginalization and how we can better set the table for people on the margins.

I asked her to join our table to discuss how we set the table for others, but our conversation really dove deep into why we separate ourselves from, or even tear down, people who are different from us. Tune in to hear Jenai share...

  • About her upbringing and how she's navigating her identity as a Filipina woman
  • What "othering" means and looks like; including an example of how we may "other" someone unintentionally
  • How we can all be better stewards of our privilege and influence

    • She has a book on the intersection of faith and othering that comes out next year!
