Episode 124: Learning and Unlearning

“People need to understand … when they fail to look at their actions they are supporting oppressive systems.” - Ijeoma Oluo

Kate and Doree discuss their efforts toward better anti-racism actions and allyship. They also talk through the tangible ways they and Forever35 listeners can support Black-owned beauty companies. Then, they replay their interview from November of 2019 with Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want To Talk About Race.
