It was such an honour to chat with our guest, Sakura, this week in this extra special longform edition of the podcast. We do a deep dive into systemic and structural racism in Canada and Japan and discuss how Sakura's unique racial identity has shaped her parenting style.

We also discuss a letter from a mother who's concerned about her daughter's self-esteem, and we're discussing the documentary 'Desconstructing Karen'. So much to unpack this episode but we promise - it's a good one!
