When Life Gives You Calamansi

Episode 004: Agitation - A Bitter, but Necessary Calamansi


Listen Later

Welcome to the fourth episode of the WLYGC podcast!

I cannot believe June flew by so fast (it did for me at least), but I did not want to exit June without creating an episode that commemorates Juneteenth, which officially became a federal holiday this year (thanks, Joe). Of course, that is not all I talk about today. Today we talk about Juneteenth, MLK Day, George Floyd, teaching race in school, and more. One episode is not enough to talk about race, but this is a start, right?

For my non-American audience, especially my Filipino audience, these topics, and lessons apply to you as well. Being someone who lived in Saudi Arabia and frequented the Philippines, I know first-hand that racism exists in both of these countries whether you like to believe that or not.

As always, I love and appreciate you for joining me for another episode of the WLGYC podcast, and remember to check out the links in this episode's show notes for resources mentioned in this episode.

Much love,

Reham
