In this episode: Racism in Schools, we discuss the horrific racist targeting that happened to Akiko and Jshauntae's children at school, which then led to:
- Them organizing the community and launching a movement
- Me going viral for being racist, the creation of a district-wide anti-racism policy
- & ultimately our friendship
We also talk about Racism in general, why most people are so uncomfortable talking about it, and what needs to happen to make systemic change not only within schools but throughout society.
