The Center Of The Issue: The Truth Of The Matter ft. CRAASH

Diving a bit deeper into environmental racism and justice at its core past and post colonization. In this episode, I sit down with a special guest, Joanne from Coalition for the Revitalization of Asian American Studies at Hunter (CRAASH) for a conversation about the deep-rooted systems that continue to shape the experiences of Black, Asian, and other marginalized communities. Together, we unpack topics like chattel slavery, class division, systemic racism, incarceration rates, NYCHA, and gentrification while exploring the similarities in the struggles faced across communities of color. Through an honest and thought-provoking discussion, this episode highlights the ways history, race, and inequality remain interconnected—and why solidarity and collective understanding are essential in the fight for justice.
