Racism. You may think you know what it is and in what ways it exists in our society, but it is a deep and multi-faceted topic. We could spend hours trolling the depths of language, attitudes, behaviors, and nuances that are influenced by race. We are attempting to explore and learn more in today’s show. I’m joined by Rebecca Slue, also known as the White Woman Whisperer. You may know her from TikTok, which is where I found her. We connected when I took an anti-racism course and reached out to her for help, and I’ve already learned a lot from her. Join us for more from Rebecca’s perspective.

Show Highlights:

• An example of how KC got into a quandary over comments on social media and the fear of being labeled as a racist
• How amazing conversations are happening when we aren’t concerned about perfectionism in our words
• What we need to understand about white supremacy
• How Rebecca uses a caste system model of values to understand the behaviors that perpetuate white supremacy
• Why our understanding of anti-racism is a journey and not a destination
• Rebecca’s experience of racial identity as she grew up the child of Jewish and Jamaican parents
• How Rebecca’s experience played out when she entered corporate America
• How she became the White Woman Whisperer
• How racism created a holistic layer of chronic stress for Rebecca
• How Rebecca uses a metaphor to explain white fragility, white privilege, and the pinata of white supremacy
