Blast from the Caste with Lagralane Spirits Production Team

Can we move away from caste to create a more equitable society? How do we understand racism by looking at caste and class? 

 

Pull up a seat and join us for a special roundtable episode with the Lagralane Team. 

 

Using the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson as a source of exploration, we help define what caste is, and discuss how race has become the basis of our caste system in the United States. We also talk about how caste affects each of us personally – and what we can do to bring about meaningful change. 

 

Through the lens of our multi-ethnic and multi-generational Lagralane Team, we seek to answer the question: can we move away from caste to create a more equitable society?

 

How can we be the guardians of truth?

 

Our team has a myriad of perspectives rooted in being adopted, Black, Asian, White, mixed-race, male, female, fluid and beyond … we are representative of America and we have also lived the experiences presented in Caste. We know first-hand that we're all living in a time of discontent created by generations before us. While sipping The Comeuppance cocktail, knowing the task before us is huge, we also ask how can we make change? How can we live today so that healing can begin for so many? How do we share the task of being guardians of truth? 

 

For more spirited discussions, make sure to subscribe to the podcast.

And if you've enjoyed thinking and cocktailing along with us, we'd love for you to leave us a review. 

Cheers … and Please Drink Responsibly!
