Ep. 002 | Let's Get (Un)comfortable Talking About Racism
This episode features Misasha Suzuki Graham and Sara Blanchard — who met at Harvard during undergrad where they walked out of a racial identity conversation because they’d just had enough. 25 years later, they’re best friends discussing and thinking about issues of race and identity and the impact it has on our communities, and our understanding of history, politics and the future of democracy.
They’re both biracial (japanese/white) daughters of one immigrant parent and one white parent. They co-host the podcast: Dear White Women, and recently co-wrote and published a book called: Dear White Women: Let’s Get Un(comfortable) Talking about Racism.
This is an honest conversation about complex problems without easy answers, and Misasha and Sara beautifully approach big topics with grace, welcoming us all into their work.
