  • We talk microaggressions, colorism, and trolling with Taylor Dempsey

    Hillary and Rachael sit down to talk to Taylor because we wanted to get another perspective on racism and the public reckoning  surrounding race taking place in 2020. She’s a co-founder of The Ally Collective and CT Peace Fest.

    Taylor discusses how sometimes being "nice" isn't enough and why she calls herself a "troll," the difference between racism and colorism, how racism is inherently tied to politics, and what needs to be done to get to a point of peace.
