  • Shining a Light on Microaggressions (Ft. Rahma)

    This week's topic is special not only because of an amazing guest, but because the topic is something that affects us all, regardless of race. Rahma, Kirti, and Brijesh all reveal experiences with micro-aggressions that they've faced and how, sometimes, even comments that are unintentional can feel harmful to people. Regardless of intent, this conversation opens minds and brings to surface the tiny behaviours in society which are, well, often overlooked! We hope you enjoy and share with friends and family!
