Where is it ok to talk about race, gender, and identity? At home? At school? In a podcast? G Capone is a Ph.D. student at Teachers College, Columbia University. They identify as a white trans person with a Jewish and Italian heritage. During their upbringing in Brooklyn and Long Island, G found that there were very few opportunities to discuss anything related to race or gender, even when they witnessed displays of prejudice firsthand. So they decided to find other spaces and communities to ask these important subjects. They discovered that higher education can lend an open, safe space to discuss race, gender, and identity; but even in those classrooms, G found a lack of diversity and viewpoints. So, again, where is it ok for us to have these challenging but crticial conversations?
