#OUR_racism
A podcast that explores the various manifestations of racism around the world through personal stories and reflections on lived experiences. A podcast that makes us all aware of the subconscious biases we hold against others as a result of living in a racialised society. A podcast that can teach us what the first steps of 'being anti-racist' truly means.
Note:
Everything you hear is first and foremost our subjective opinions, feelings and interpretations. If there is anything you may find confounding, surprising, or even wrong, reach out to us - this is a platform for a joint learning exploration, not a strive for a definite and absolute answer.
