Shadeism

This episode we welcome Shameless editors past and present as guest hosts. They explore shadeism - the discrimination of skin tone within race and talk about deeply internalized white supremacy within families and communities, learning how to disassociate skin tone with self-worth and their ever-evolving relationship with the sun. The conversation was inspired by a short called Shadeism by Nayani Thiyagarajah which has been extended into a full length documentary titled Shadeism: Digging Deeper by Nayani and the Refuge Production team. Theme music is by the ever-rad LAL.
