Releasing Whiteness | Fear of Becoming An Other

Releasing Whiteness is back! In this episode, we explore the ways whiteness is really a product of fear, particularly for those who experience whiteness as a place of belonging. We talk candidly about the ways othering can be used to keep individuals and groups in check (too afraid to rock the boat, too afraid to speak their truth, too afraid to stand for our shared humanity). Othering has been used as tool to keep whiteness in place for far too long. For that reason, we decided to have this conversation as an avenue to embrace another possibility. What if we opened ourselves to seeing our shared humanity (i.e., the idea that each of us is fully human and deserves to be seen that way in policy and practice).
