I am joined by 4 guests as we discuss what it means and takes to be an ally, As we reflect on current events, we discuss race and racism and how it’s nuanced socially, economically and historically. We also share personal experiences as People of Color in this country and give examples as to the realities we face just for having darker skin.
After days of seeing a personal divide, I felt it best to share why rioting and looting is a valid form of protesting, from a historical perspective, the outcome of cause and effect and why the contrary position of the “property damage” defense” is a problematic excuse.
As I reflect on the latest Black Lives news, I share my recollection of common themes and patterns that I’ve witnessed since I was 7 and share my experiences in the nuance times of today and the impact it has as a person of color living in this world.
During quarantine, I revisited an iconic movie series favorite of mine. Nightmare on Elm Street. I discuss themes and narratives that were not obvious then, that are now that I’m older. I also discuss what makes this series my favorite and what elements and themes set it apart from the standard horror fare
During my insomnia, I tackle and open up about the weight of a past hurt and it’s challenges and I speak as I process it and what I plan to do to persevere.
As we are going through the pandemic, i wanted to shine a light on mental illness and share my experiences as a sufferer of it, the things we can do to alleviate the struggles we experience from being socially distant from one another and reiterate the importance of taking care of and relying on ourselves more.
We explore the 'crabs in a barrel' mentality that is prominent in interpersonal spaces (i.e. workplace) and wonder why that is a thing, even in non-competitive situations.
