Let's Talk About Race with Samiya and Ja'Cory

Send us Fan MailI'm joined this week by Samiya and her husband Ja'Cory as we take some time to talk about the Black Lives Matter movement and taking the first small steps to starting a conversation addressing anti-black racism in South Asian culture. Samiya breaks down bringing home a partner who is black, while Ja'Cory shares his own experiences while sharing resources on how we can all be allies. We touch on colourism, the casual use of the N word among South Asian's, and how we can talk to our families about a topic many of our parent's don't want to discuss.
