Like many others her age, Natalie Lewis entered college weeks leading up to the landmark 2016 election and graduated just this past spring in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her college years spanned one of the most affecting and politically charged time periods in recent American history. Growing up as a person of color (Afro-Cuban) in a predominantly white, rural community in an overwhelmingly white state was an experience Lewis didn't fully grapple with until going to college, a time during which she began exploring her own background, racial identity and the various cultural factors--positive and negative--which helped shape who she is today. This spring, Lewis became deeply affected by the events spurring the increased growth of the Black Lives Matter movement and its growth across the country, including in her home region of New England. Lewis decided it was time to act, organize and use her voice to discuss issues of racial identity, cultural appropriation, racial representation in our society and how best to support the movements for people of color across the United States and globally. In this episode, Lewis discusses her own views on race and culture, terms of identity, what supporters can best do to help these movements and her own future plans, both in career exploration and her growing role as an social organizer and activist.
