    Ep 3. I Am Not The Exception

    Content Warning: Themes of racism and cultural insensitivity Maggie and Cori discuss their personal growth as they've unpacked exceptionalism. It is easy for them to think of themselves as separate from "those white folks over there", but turns out, all people with white privilege have learning and unlearning to do. The hosts now know they're not some of the "good ones".

    Ep. 1 It's Black & White: Interracial Marriage, Light-Bulb Moments, & Going Forward

    Content Warning: Anti-Black and Latine Racism; Racial Slurs Used In Personal Narrative;  Season 2 kicks off with an uncomfortable reckoning. Cori and Maggie make a new start by revealing that they have been hiding that they're both in interracial marriages. Once believing they could avoid critique and prejudice by being secretive, they found this goes against their goal of showing up in the world as their full, authentic selves. They also explore what is at the root of their choices to hide and uncover these personal facts.

    Ep. 9 Making Folks Uncomfortable: Our Mission & Vision

    CW: Racism and Whyt Supremacy A reminder to themselves and you, the listeners, of what this podcast is all about.
