The Hard Truth

My favorite part of spooky season!! I love Halloween costumes, and this week I talk about how some costumes are a bit more insensitive than others, as well as some of my experiences with people who have crossed the line with their costumes. 

Have you seen the trailer for the new Disney life-action remake of Ariel? I'm sure you have... and all the hateful backlash Halle Bailey has faced as the lead actress. We dive into that, Donald Glover as Spiderman, Shang-Chi, and more. 

Join our conversation! 

This week, I tackle race versus ethnicity and what the future generations will look like when these terms are obsolete. 

Added a poll to this one! Let me know what y'all think. 

This episode dips into racial inequalities seen in healthcare settings. I talk about why Black women are 3.5 times more likely to die in labor and postpartum scenarios and get some firsthand experience perspectives from a current nurse. 

Generational Trauma, toxic trauma responses, and Encanto oh my! 

We're going all in this week on how trauma responses can manifest themselves differently in members of the same family and I use Encanto as a perfect example of this. Plus, you get to hear a snippet of one of Lin Manuel-Miranda's masterpieces. 

This week, I unpack some scenarios I've seen of otherization in schools, tv shows, and the workplace that feature token ethnicities. 

I talk about whether we should be cherry picking diversity or if it could perhaps lead to more ulterior motives in society. 

Let me know your perspectives!

I go full nerd in this episode all about languages- the good and the bad. 

Societies and cultures can be made or broken with languages, especially with how we teach languages. I talk about the dangers of our educational system, how language forms our identity, and Chad's. 

Heavy hitter this week! 

I talk about why I'm invested in this topic, why it's important to discuss, and how it affects everyone in our society. 

Racism shouldn't be treated like a swear word that we avoid or hide. It's something that can be changed, one conversation at a time. Join mine <3 

We need to stop using "good intentions" as an excuse for awful behaviors. It's not helping anyone
