Today’s episode starts with a story from a school district in Newberg, Oregon, where the school board banned displays of flags in classrooms, including the Black Lives Matter flag and all Pride flags. Our hosts discuss the hope represented by these flags and the reason why students need them to feel seen. Drawing on their own experiences, Dr. J opens up about the bigotry they faced as a D1 athlete. Fernell explains how she was alienated by her teachers and leveraged athletics to build trust within her racially isolating community. Erin reflects upon her childhood abroad, the culture shock of coming to the U.S., and the reason why she chooses to stay, in spite of it all.
