S13 E36 Metaphysics 101 Privilege for White People with Gayle Turner & Shelli Jost Brady & Roscoe Burnems

Welcome back to Stories Matter! Helping Leaders Transform Lives. In today's episode, titled "Metaphysics 101: Privilege for White People," we have a thought-provoking conversation with our guest, Roscoe Burnems, Richmond's first-ever poet laureate. Our co-host, Gayle Turner, recalls seeing Roscoe present on the concept of privilege and has been eagerly waiting to delve deeper into this important topic. Privilege can be a loaded word, but Roscoe takes us on a journey through personal experiences and systemic factors that contribute to racial and economic inequalities. We will learn about the impact of privilege on one's sense of freedom and safety, as well as the importance of ally-ship and understanding history. Stay tuned as we explore these complex issues and strive to create a more equitable society. Let's dive in and remember, when it comes to stories, every voice matters.
