Hey hey my Honestly Onai family, welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, I am joined by my unofficial cohost & mentor Dr. Dominick Quinney to unpack the concept of race using the highly debated Critical Race Theory (CRT). One of the main identities that influences our quality of life in America is race. Race seeps into every nook and cranny to validate systems of advantage and disadvantage. It is a social category that groups together individuals who have common physical features, ancestry, and cultural practices and attitudes. Now, peep how I said social category, yet the impacts of race are felt beyond the social, or interpersonal one-on one level. Race influences various systems in America, from the political and legal systems, to American education and financial institutions. Race impacts our ability to access basic human needs like clean air or nutritious foods or water that actually hydrates us. Tune in for a great conversation about how we can use CRT to begin understanding ourselves, and the world around us.
