SEASON 1: Reckon with That?! 

Calling out bullshit. Calling in conversation.

In this episode of 2 Thought Bitches, Cailin and Iris discuss causual-isms, microaggressions, and accountability! Whooo--it’s gonna be a heavy episode...IT’S GONNA BE GREAT!

THE BIGGEST SHOUT OUT TO IJEOMA OLUO! Her book So you want to talk about race was a huge resource and massive inspiration for this episode. She not only gave us a step-by-step guide to work through microaggressions with each other but her lovely quotes from her talks at Google and the XOXO festival, open and close our discussion--thank you Ijeoma!!!


ANOTHER HUUUUUGE SHOUT OUT to Vivette Jeffries-Logan, Michelle Johnson, Tema Okun who co-worte “ACCOUNTABILITY IN A TIME OF JUSTICE”. Thank you for giving us language and lenses so that we can better understand what accountability means. 

Here is a list of works that inspired and tantalized us: 

  • Chester M. Piece (the originator of the term microaggressions and prolific academic)!
  • Derald Sue — he literally wrote the book and check out his amazing video (it made us super nostalgic for the late 2000s)
  • Dr. Andrea Boyles TEDex Talk “ The Socialization and Comfortableness of Microaggressions
  • What exactly is a microagression?” by  Jenée Desmond-Harris
  • How microaggressions are like mosquito bites” by Same Difference FUSION COMEDY
  • Still having a hard time understanding what microaggressions are? Check out this amazing video from Franchesca Ramsey and the team at MTV Decoded.
