15 - are your friends kinda racist?

sooo i asked a bunch of questions on my instagram @amberakilla regarding race and talking to your friends about race, unlearning racism, internalized racism. this episode discusses people’s responses to people around them unlearning racism and how they handle these conversations with some of my personal experience and suggestions in drawing boundaries. as we become more aware about social issues, what kind of people do we want around us and how do we navigate relationships with this knowledge. next episode will focus on internalized racism! let me know any thoughts or questions!!!

14 - the stages of realizing things ~ feminism & identity

this episode is an overview of my journey with feminism and identity so far. these issues are so complex and unique to everyone but i feel like sharing and listening to different perspectives can be helpful when trying to develop our own understanding. i'm focusing more on stages of development more than context or content here in order to demonstrate how its important to embrace learning and discovering new things about yourself and the world around you. i think we need to be giving people more room to change and develop their ideas instead of vilifying them when they don't agree with us. please forgive me if there's anything you feel i've missed and let me know your thoughts and your own experiences too! video podcast: https://youtu.be/rRCIVIAOYH8 follow me ☆ instagram.com⁠/amberakilla 小红书 @amberakilla youtube.com/@amberakilla⁠ patreon.com/amberakilla⁠ ⁠instagram.com⁠/friend.crush ⁠www.tiktok.com⁠ ⁠twitter.com⁠ music & mixes ☼ ⁠soundcloud.com⁠ ⁠open.spotify.com 网易云音乐 shop merch friendcrush.club
