This podcast episode is inspired by the quote by Audre Lorde: “Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men. Lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world. The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions. There is a constant drain of energy which might be better used in redefining ourselves and devising realistic scenarios for altering the present and constructing the future.”

It is not the responsibility of BIPOC people to make those in privileged and powerful positions feel comfortable. It is the responsibility of those with your privilege to understand why they are feeling uncomfortable and challenge themselves to dive deep into those feelings in order to create communities of belonging.
