"Come Get Your White People" is a podcast for the change agent at their wit's end. You're dedicated to dismantling White Supremacy, but tired of arguing with your loved ones, friends, neighbors, strangers at the gas station, and damn near everyone else about the fact that anti-Blackness is a REAL thing. Your effort seems to be in vain and you're running out of arguments and fire, right? GOOD. Your arguments sucked anyway. No shade...slight shade. How do I know? Because I'm an anti-oppressive coach who has spent the past 15 years standing in rooms making liberation a tangible goal for thousands of White-identified and White-assimilated folx. I've heard every counter-argument there is and I've crushed them all. Let me guide you to better language and compelling arguments for a better world.

    Why Is Your God So Small?

    Religion in this country is generally separated by race and Wanda asks about your God. A liberatory God is a big God, a God that is too big to fit inside of Whiteness. So consider what you believe about your God and the message you receive from your church.   Learn more about Lead The Shift™, Start By Talking's 12-month licensing program that embeds a proven framework for anti-oppressive supervision inside your organization, here: https://startbytalking.mykajabi.com/lead-the-shift   Learn more about the Anti-Oppressive Bystander Leadership Education (A.B.L.E.)
