Episode 217 - Taking Action

Educating yourself is the first step in taking any action against racial discrimination. Sigi shares how he is educating himself on what it means to be antiracist through the work of Ibram X. Kendi's "How to be an Antiracist."  On this third episode of a special four-part collection on social justice, Sigi and Jezzie expand further on Kendi's work and discuss what taking action means, and finding impactful and meaningful ways of doing this.  Later, Jezzie speaks to how systems of oppression, like white fragility perpetuate racism, and how microinterventions (inspired by Dr. E.J.R. David's Addressing Anti-Black Microaggressions in Filipino Families) especially within the Filipina/x/o communities, can be a worthwhile use of our energies.
