We have an open and honest conversation with California-based performance artist Melissa McDonald about how to navigate the difficulties that come with non-people of color trying to understand and address systemic racism and oppression. Melissa is an Irish/Salvadoran American who's personal work confronting race and culture has her facing her own privileges as a white-presenting person while working to navigate the sharp learning curve of being an ally to Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color. She shares how she is embracing the unknown, showing up in her life, relationships, and industry all while working to educate herself to become the best ally and advocate she can be. You'll be moved by her honesty and transparency.
