Black lives matter. On this episode Heather listens to Diona. Diona shares some of her experience understanding the full reaches of white supremacism in mainstream culture. Why, as a young black woman, would she feel afraid of black men? To what extent have beauty standards and self-esteem been distorted by a white dominated media? Why was Damon Lindelof (and the talented writing staff of HBO’s Watchmen) responsible for the first time that so many people ever even heard about the tragic events in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921? Let’s continue doing the work of anti-racism, shall we? Diona is kind enough to remind us, that this has nothing to do with posting on social media just so you can say that you did it. “We can’t go back to normal. Because normal is shit.” If you missed it last week, a helpful resource is antiracismforbeginners.com Thank you Diona for the talk. And thank YOU for listening. The show is produced by Heather Ann Gottlieb, Cameron Tagge, Alex Salem, and Tristen Bankston. The theme song vocals are vocalized by Natalie Sharp. The artwork is worked by Kevin Laughlin.
