When Amber told about the person saying to her how she was vegan and thus couldn't be racist - I just couldn't. In no imagination, in no world, can I put myself in Amber's shoes. Thank you for bringing her story, Nadia. Listening and discerning how to change me is the thing I need to do. And then maybe I'll be able to stand up in a crowd and yell at the Bernies, too.
This is so helpful, and much needed. It’s crazy this recollection comes from 2 years ago and it’s still more valid than ever to read this. As a Black woman, I relate so heavily to this experience of being made small in White spaces. Thank you for sharing. I’ll be sure to tune in on the podcast!
