In this conversation I talk with my friend Janell about the 5 things she has learned about racism. This conversation was originally part of a small conference that Janell spoke at and she was willing to share her five main points on the podcast. References to all resources are linked below.
- Racism is real.
- We must put aside shame so we can learn.
- Our nations history matters.
- Proximity is important.
- What do we do with this information?
