Renewed Alaap: Supporting Anti-Racism and Anti-Colorism

This month’s topic: Supporting Anti-Racism and Anti-Colorism. For this month's ALAAP episode, the moderators introduce a new moderator/podcast host, Naziat Hassan. We come together to discuss various articles pertaining to the decades filled with racism and how it impacts their mental health. In addition, we discussed how people are treated differently by the color of their skin, how it tends to happen a lot in South Asian households and social engagements, and how wrong and unjust this is. Lastly, they discuss various ways to support Black people and most importantly to always be educated and willing to learn.
