270: Six Years Later, And (No Surprise Here) We're Still Talking
By the time a human is six years old, they're usually in formal schooling with wide-open minds, ready to learn. You're learning that you can't bring peanut butter in because some classmates might be allergic to peanuts (which shows you how to be a considerate citizen); you're learning that you can't call Suzie an idiot (because words have power); that baking soda and vinegar can propel that paper mache volcano (as in, science is real); and that when adults say "maybe" as in "maybe we'll go to get ice cream for lunch" they're not always telling the truth (developing our critical thinking).
Why all this talk about six-year-olds? Well, as you might have guessed, here at Dear White Women, we're wrapping up year SIX of this podcast, which makes us, as a platform, similar in many ways to that small human that we were just talking about. A lot of this has been a journey in those skills for us, and, hopefully, you, too, have learned a little bit along this journey of 270 episodes and counting.
Here is to where we've been, and where we're going as we move into our SEVENTH year of podcasting. And to everyone asking, "So, you done now?" Given everything that's going on in the world (and specifically in the United States since January 20, 2025), we've got a never-ending supply of topics. Suffice it to say, we've still got a lot more to talk about, with each other, and with you - and we'll soon be sharing with you how we're changing this platform to give us the ability to say even more. Thanks, as always, for listening.
What to listen for:
-
How and why we started this podcast
-
Our personal whys - and what keeps us going, especially over this last year
-
Favorite episodes from this last year
-
How you can bring us in to speak with your organizations about how to have difficult conversations, and/or why belonging still matters - we each individually, and together, do lots of speaking engagements
-
