What happens when words meant to be supportive actually cut the deepest? In this episode, I explore the subtle layers of racism, bigotry, and discrimination, and why so many people miss the nuanced forms that persist today.
I share a personal story of someone saying it was “good I didn’t go to an HBCU because it wasn’t the real world”—a statement packed with bias and false assumptions. This kind of comment leaves people of color constantly deciding whether to call it out or let it slide.
If you’ve ever faced that tension between intent and impact, this conversation is for you.
