    Apr 27 2021
    In this episode we recap some of our favorite parts of our last interview with Doni Aldine. If you haven't listened to that one yet (episode 8), go back and check it out, you don't want to miss it! We also dive into the concept of how our experiences as TCKs impact our understanding of diversity and racism both in the United States and abroad. How does growing up in a diverse culture and environment impact what someone thinks they know about systemic racism? An analogy about table building, the relationship between white privilege and minorities both domestic and overseas, the importance of listening first, and much more are discussed in this packed episode.
