Additional Rec. - "An Unprecedented Step in Eradicating Racism in America" by Dorian Wallace
“As a Black woman, Tina was not at ease with becoming the societal token Black face of the [Speaking of Racism] podcast. No matter what way she looked at it, in order for her to be not just comfortable on the show but to demonstrate in her life what is her truth, she would need to have a difficult conversation with Jen. She would need to tell Jen that in order for her to be co-host on a podcast that highlighted racism she would need to acquire the podcast. She would have to somehow explain that Jen would need to give up rights as owner of her own podcast. Tina knew that no matter how it was put, it was going to sound, well… ridiculous. At least it would to anyone living in a capitalistic society who was not well into their own journey of prioritizing antiracism.”
“A new way that they have invited the podcast listeners to engage with them is by adding a Patreon community and encouraging listeners to become co-conspirators, no matter where they are on their own personal journeys. SOR is looking to do some very interesting and anti-capitalist things on the show like pay their guests for their time and offer free ad space to Black owners of companies and products by allowing them to share on the show.”
“It gives me hope to imagine what their example could lead to if it would trickle into just a very small part of corporate America. Perhaps these two women provide an example of what reparations in America could be.”
I saw this article when it was posted by Tina Strawn (tina_strawn_life) for her Patreon community. If you are white, I urge you to join her Patreon to financially support her antiracism work while being part of a community where you can be held accountable as you learn how to dismantle racism in yourself and in institutions.
