S5E1: Oprah’s Meghan & Harry Interview, Colorism and Courage

Naked Conversations: Race, Culture, & Beyond

Sage and Erica stumble through another naked conversation, reliving watching Oprah’s explosive interview with Harry and Meghan and digging into the ugly roots of colorism while throwing shade on the systems that created it. Then Sage makes a bold discovery and an apology.

In this episode we share:

• A moment of silence for victims of the shootings and violence against Asian-Americans
• Reflections on Meghan Markle’s courage to fight the cowardice of racism
• The plot of the patriarchy to divide and destroy marginalized groups, and how it’s working
• How to raise Culturally Competent Kids: a workshop for parents who want to change the course of racism by having real conversations about it with their kids
