In Episode 25, we continue our conversation about the 15 characteristics of #whitesupremacyculture - a term explained by the work of Dr. Tema Okun - and how it shows up in our lives, in our workplaces, in our systems - even at a weird trip to the car dealership. Kori and Laura share how recognizing, interrupting, and working through moments where you’re caught in a trap of white supremacy culture often involves self-talk.

In Episode 24, we begin talking about the 15 characteristics of white supremacy culture, as written by Dr. Tema Okun - how it shows up in our lives, in our workplaces, in our systems - even country music and eclipse viewing! In this sneak peek, we shake our heads about a headline, bemoaning the lost productivity during the eclipse (!!!) instead of framing it as a collective moment of awe and wonder. Don’t let #whitesupremacyculture keep you from being fully human.

Gaza. It’s absolutely heartbreaking at every turn. In Episode 14, Kori and Laura discuss why nuance is necessary in discussing this conflict, and they lift up what we all should be able to agree on - a commitment to liberation for all people and an outright rejection of hate and bigotry. Listen for ways we can impact change - even a world away.
