Amy and Kabir discuss "color-blind casting" in the context of Kobo and the Two Strings and the newly announced Wrinkle in Time casting. In addition, they discuss ongoing cultural appropriation by Gwen Stefani in light of her new Nickelodeon show.
Our guest this week is Carol Cain, the founder and publisher of Girl Gone Travel, an amazing travel blog where Carol documents her many adventures with her family. We touch on a variety of subjects including her experiences as a minority in the travel blogging world and how travel destinations, especially national parks can attract a more diverse group.
Here are a few of our favorite pieces from Carol including a few we reference:
