  • Whitelash in Action
    The events that took place on January 6th, 2021 was history in the making and whitelash in action! The pro-Trump rioters stormed a building that's supposed to be one of the most secure in the world. In this episode we dissect three questions that gnawed at our collective consciousness like a dog with a bone; 
    1) Why weren’t more police present to protect the building? 
    2) Why were rioters not only able to enter the building, but to leave peacefully afterwards?
    3) What kind of actions will be taken against those who illegally attempted a coup and posted threatening messages online?

    I'm proud to keep putting these episodes out, but would love some reviews on Apple Podcasts and on Spotify!

  • Racism...Its Not Just an American Problem
    We see, hear and learn about racism in the United States, but don't be fooled, racism exists all over the world. Anti-black racism specifically is a worldwide phenomenon. Although Canadians are known for being really nice and friendly, we also have some less-nice racism issues that need to be addressed too.

  • Racism in the Brain
    No one likes to think they're racist, we shudder from this label and look down on people with discriminatory views. However, there are functions in our brain that quickly and automatically process people into categories and groups based on their appearances. This episode explores what those processes are, how they contribute to our misconceptions and stereotypes about entire groups of people, but also how we can start to undo and unlearn these processes.
