Ken and Paul are joined by Tsitsi Zawaira.

Tsitsi is an advocate, business consultant, and aspiring writer currently working on a book about the concept of Black implosion and authors the Unbowed Spirit Newsletter on Substack. She has worked for organizations both in the United States and Zimbabwe doing work focused on the eradication of gender based violence. Tsitsi, being from Zimbabwe, brings a unique perspective on race and gender in the United States.

This episode discusses:
- The necessity of ambiguity in the process of leaving behind one identity and moving towards a new, truer one.
- Tsitsi's experience immigrating to the United States and having Blackness bestowed upon her.
- The concept of "Black implosion" and why it's important for White people to be aware of it.
- How having one's heritage and ancestry at the forefront of equity work helps connect to a collective past, present, and future.
