19. Why Colorism Is Just As Serious As Racism


Listen Later

Don’t know much about colorism? After you listen to this episode, you'll better understand what colorism is and how it uniquely affects people of color, from dark-skinned to white-passing. I also open up about my biracial identity– what it's like to navigate being "too Black" for white people and "too white" for Black people.
