Black All Year - An Antiracist Discussion Part 2
Manage episode 431364009 series 3340458
When did you first become aware of your race? Join me, Steph Edusei, along with writer, performer and producer, Risaria Langley, as, in the second part of our discussion, we explore the profound experiences that shaped our understanding of race and racism. Risaria recounts when she first became aware of her whiteness and I share my own journey, from enduring racial taunts to the unsolicited touches to my hair, revelations that only later clarified as racism.
This is at times an emotional exploration of mixed heritage and ancestry with us as we uncover the complexities that come with discovering one's roots. Sharing a friend's late discovery of her Indian ancestry, we journey through historical interracial relationships and the secrecy that often cloaked them. We dive into the history of Ghana's coastal regions, revealing how pregnant enslaved women found freedom and integration in local society.
We encourage you to listen to part one of this conversation for more honest and insightful discussion.
