Talking about race is one of the most silenced topics in the USA. Growing up, when we're told what topics not to discuss with others we often hear about politics, money, and religion but race is so far removed as a topic of conversation that it isn't even mentioned as something to avoid. 

It's because of the sensitivity and silence around this topic that it needs more attention, it requires more discussion, and it requires all of us to do our part to help facilitate and create safe spaces to learn more about other people. 

So, in Episode 5 we've brought on a special guest (Christian) who is a Black man living in a white-dominated country. We'll go through our backgrounds, experiences, and ultimately what we can do better to build a better bridge for unity. 

We had users from our community ask some questions and we covered a few but sadly we could not get to them in all the time frame. If you want to see the questions as well as some more detailed notes on this episode then check out our Obsidian Publish page below.
