Leanna Parsons
Welcome to the podcast home of Hillel Silicon Valley, the Jewish home away from home for Silicon Valley's students. We're putting the spotlight on student stories from our campuses - sharing their passions, projects, and insights on life in the Bay Area.
Leanna sat down with the Assistant Director at WashU Hillel in St. Louis, Tony Westbrook! This was such a fun conversation about Tony's experience as a Jewish person of color living in the USA. We chatted about his journey to Judaism, his presence on social media, and some ways that non-PoC Jewish individuals can support our friends in the Black community.
