Great opportunity to understand context and learn more

I loved episode number two! This was so helpful for me as a white woman to understand more about what it must be like to be black in white spaces.I also think it’s powerfully exemplifies the danger of a single story, in understanding that no two experiences are the same. And yet there is a lot of commonality. Such a great start to this new show!
