We hear from a couple of guests as they recount the lessons they’ve learned about what it means to be “professional” and what that word is code for. Interesting Links "Professionalism or Socialized White Supremacy" - 2019 NASPA piece by LaTecia Yarbrough and Ricky Urgo. "Blacksonian" piece about Whiteness - We recommend reading the section about "White Dominant Culture". That's the National Association of African American History and Culture. Losing My Language - An episode of the BBC podcast, The Comb, about the global dominance of English in the African diaspora.
