In this podcast we will take a serious but not too serious look at the difference in walking through the world as a white person vs. everyone else. And I say serious but not too serious because I have found that humor often helps disarm people.
Maybe you’ll chuckle and then pause and be “like wait, was he serious?” and that’s often when the truth sinks in
In Each episode we will take a look at the differences between the experiences of whites and people of color, we will have two guests, yup you guessed it, one white and one person of color, we will take a journey with them, walk in their shoes, and discuss the differences as they navigate the same space.
My hope is to educate through dialogue, something I think we have been missing for awhile now.
Maybe, just maybe if we listen to these stories, we will begin to see each other as fully human. And that’s where it begins, seeing and hearing each other.
Realizing that we are all worthy of empathy and respect.

Customer Reviews
Awesome!
As a white person, I want to take responsibility for my own racial education without constantly exhausting my friends of color “to help me understand.” These podcasts are a super-helpful to do that. They’re poignant, convicting, and eye-opening. I highly recommend them!
Intro hooks!
Great content, covering numerous intersections where systemic racism is prevalent. But, the intro stories from Andre, are a great hook into the deep dive of the pod topics.
Very engaging.
Great topic.
