Episode 5: Colorblind or Just Ignoring The Problem?
Listen now
Description
This episode will analyze why being colorblind or “not seeing color” regardless of intent can ultimately be gaslighting for people of color. The term “white privilege” has become such a controversial topic. We will unpack this and discuss how it ties back to not acknowledging the inherent power structure in the United States. We will also speak on the importance of discovering personal blind spots, how to point them out, and overall how to have effective dialogue. We also plan on discussing how to effectively utilize one's privilege to better serve the community at large.
