“I Don’t See Color.” Yes You Do. by Confessions of a Haitian-American Woman living in small-town Minnesota

Jo interviews activist and Humanize my Hoodie co-founder Jason Sole.

Jo and friends discuss white privilege.

Jo often gets the question "Will you stay in Alexandria?". So, today she talks about raising young children of color in a town with 95% white people. Then, Jo talks about her children's autism diagnoses.

Jo updates you on the local premiere party of her talk show, Voices (check it out on YouTube)and why she finally feels like a part of the community. She also shares good news about connecting with her family. Jo shares what it is like to grow up the child of First Generation Americans, and more specifically what it's like to grow up the child of traditional Haitian parents. She also shares some of her views on the current immigration crisis in our country. At the time of the recording, the news about the child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein's suicide had just broken, so Jo also talks about that in relation to #Me Too and points out that over and over black women are less likely to be believed than white women.

Today, Jo talks about what is giving her (and many of us)anxiety, her thoughts on The Bachelorette, and tells the story of how she and her husband got together.
