Episode notes

I was very absolute about things and I thought I would find my place in the world. As I've got older I've realized that I'm just always craving change like I get to one place and I get nostalgic about somewhere else or I think about the next thing. You could spend your whole life like looking for that place and I think it really to an extent not entirely but I think a lot of it is internal and it's something that's internal but kind of looking for an external solution to it. It will never if it's motivated by you know something something that’s internal and there's an internal disconnect, she says.

Welcome to the Wintering Sessions with Katherine May.

Producer Note: You'll notice a slight change in Katherine's audio in the second half of the podcast. This is just due to a necessary 'source switch', where we had to change where her recording was coming from. Your ears will adjust very quickly but apologies for the ever so slight dip. Thank you!

This week Katherine talks to Emma Dabiri, author of Don’t Touch My Hair and What White People Can Do Next.

What begins as a conversation about Emma’s new-found commitment to appreciating all the seasons - not just summer - becomes something else entirely. Emma is one of our most agile thinkers and fearless speakers, and soon she is talking about everything from race and class to how we should think about the world right now. A thread of belonging runs through it all - how we seek and find it, how complicated our identities have become, and why it matters.
