51. Ijeoma Oluo: Conversations on Race, Part 1

Send us a Text Message about the podcastJoin us on an enlightening odyssey with the remarkable Ijeoma Oluo, acclaimed writer and speaker, as we traverse the terrain of race, identity, and systemic racism. As the author of the New York Times bestseller "So You Want to Talk About Race," Ijeoma uniquely illustrates her journey from impoverishment to an influential voice in America. Listen to her candid recap of being the lone black person in numerous rooms and how these experiences, coupled with the harsh reality of systemic injustices, sparked her fervor for understanding and shedding light on race, identity, and systemic racism.We delve into the world of black women, often navigating societal structures with minimal support. We unravel the unequal burden they bear, reflect on the strength of their resilience, and emphasize the urgency of creating space for healing and self-investment. Ijeoma then guides us on a journey of understanding racism, offering invaluable insights on intersectionality and privilege — two pivotal yet frequently misunderstood subjects (Parts 1 & 2). You will become more equipped to engage these matters with clarity and better understanding.#ijeomaoluo#soyouwanttotalkaboutracepromotes my new integrated website.Support the show#abovethenoise24# faith#reconciliation#race#racialreconciliation#compassionWe appreciate your support: Buy Me A CoffeeStay in touch:Email us at: [email protected]: @abovethenoise24Instagram: abovethenoise24Podcast art by Mario Christie.
