Episode 4: The problem with "sounding white"

from The Stoop Hosted by Hana Baba and Leila Day

What's it mean when someone says you "sound white"? In this episode we explore voice, and unpack what it means linguistically, socially, and professionally when you're black but supposedly "sound white." As always, we love you for loving The Stoop.
