52. Ijeoma Oluo: Conversations on Race, Part 2
Listen now
Description
In this concluding episode our guest, Ijeoma Oluo: author and speaker helps us decode the true definitions of the terms: race and privilege; highlighting how racism is not just prejudice, but a systemic issue, and privilege is not a term to be weaponized but rather a descriptor of how one navigates the world. She also enlightens us on intersectionality and the importance of understanding our own privilege, as it can be a powerful tool in driving positive change. We explore the intricate relationship between intersectionality, race, and class in America. We delve into the real-world implications of these dynamics and the harm they can cause if used to create divisions among different social groups. We also emphasize the power of learning and supporting others, encouraging a culture of constant growth that embraces diversification of information sources and the questioning of whose voices might be missing in our everyday conversations.  #abovethenoise24 # faith #reconciliation #race racialreconciliation Stay in touch: Email us at: [email protected] Facebook: @abovethenoise24 Instagram: abovethenoise_gm Podcast art by Mario Christie.
