Join us for an insightful and inspiring episode!
Show Notes
Have you ever taken a moment to truly observe your surroundings? Join our new host Zoe Gabrielle and her guests as they discuss occupying predominantly white spaces, and the effect it has had on them while attending a predominantly white university. The episode begins with intriguing introductions by her guests Tyanna Fuller, Sydney Frontanez, and Jarious Carter. The episodes continues as they discuss the disproportionate rate of minority students that attend the university and how to be an ally. As the episode comes to an end we are reminded of how we are all connected as living beings, and we are all entitled to being treated with kindness and compassion. A simple gesture, such as making extra space on the sidewalk, is used as analogy for creating a world where marginalized groups feel seen, heard, and validated. Be sure to give it a listen because you won’t want to miss out!
