I met Justin a little after arriving to Seattle. He was also new in the city and that made us connect really quick. He was my first friend that was originally from the USA! Yes, I know! That’s something you get to think about when you are an immigrant. And yes, sometimes it is not that easy to make friends that are locals. 

Justin has always supported me and been there for me, he is also a fan number 1 of this podcast so I wanted to bring him on a special episode so that we could talk about racism. 

Justin shares his experience with police brutality. Racism in the city of Seattle. What being the one “black” friend feels like and his experience with racism when traveling abroad.

Justin also gave us amazing book recommendations that we can read to educate ourselves and learn more.
