In this episode, I'm speaking on a topic that I think we sometimes shy away from - how do mixed folks with white ancestors/parents/family members reconcile their proximity to whiteness? I'm breaking down how to handle the fact that you have white ancestors or are assumed to be white, and how to find a place of centered accountability when it comes to your privilege and access.
