Diversity and Inclusion is for White People: Beyond Bruno Mars, and the Love of Light Skin

Hoodrat to Headwrap: A Decolonized Podcast

https://www.patreon.com/seren_sensei "The true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations which we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us."---Audre Lorde To preamble the episode: We didn't talk about how Twitter and companies like it-Google, Facebook, etc. have whole diversity departments, committees and initiatives and make marketing videos featuring a whole bunch of black folks but employee less than 3% of us. How the conversation about representation allows the system to continue to work--as long as we are used for aesthetic, put on display, "visible", the world is completely content with whiteness remaining dominant. Join us on a furiously tender conversation.
