Decent starting point

I was disappointed to hear the host sympathize with white people and to make the argument that people of color are racist. Seems like the host needs some more educating

Has Potential but host is cringe

This podcast has a lot of potential but the host is incredibly self absorbed, and regularly interrupts guests to insert her own long tangents and personal experiences. Its incredibly distracting and comes off cringy and self-absorbed

The title is misleading

This podcast asks brown women to sympathize with white judgments and internalized racism. It’s interesting how her guests didn’t identify as brown women because they “cant relate.” Her comments about not noticing racism unless it directly impacts her is a problem. Seems like she needs to go back and educate herself more on being a “brown women.”
