Privilege of Poverty (Part 1 of 3): Collision of Wealth and Poverty w/ Jim Ott

It's A Privilege

What happens when the worlds of privilege and poverty collide?
In this illuminating episode of "It's a Privilege," host Jason Browne is joined by co-hosts Dawn Rosenbaum, a non-binary healthcare professional and improv director, and Brandon Rhodes, a gamer, improviser, and DEI director at Happy Valley Improv, to delve deep into the intricate relationship between poverty and privilege.

Our special guest is Jim Ott, a seasoned school psychologist with over 35 years of experience who leads community workshops called Bridges Out of Poverty. Jim shares his transformative journey from growing up comfortably in a predominantly white town in Michigan to experiencing life as an outsider during his teenage years in Brazil. His stories shed light on how privilege can be invisible to those who have it and how experiencing "otherness" can profoundly reshape one's understanding of social dynamics.
