Special: conversation about racism and white privilege


Listen Later

A very special episode today. No guest. This time it's only Rosie & Jeremie having an open, honest and unedited conversation about racism and white privilege.


On May 25th, 2020, a black man named George Floyd was murdered by the police in Minneapolis, Minnesota (United States). Following this tragic and awful event, a series of protests started in the US and all over the world to fight racism and police brutality. Things have to change.


We have spent a lot of time listening, learning, unlearning, reading, watching videos & documentaries to try to understand the problem. As white people, we have never experienced what black people have been through & are going through in their lives. We have been trying to educate ourselves on the Black Lives Matter movement and decided to have an open conversation about it in order to encourage communication. To make a real change, we all have to get involved, and it starts with acknowledging what's going on, talking about it, then taking action.
