Ep. 65 - Real Talk Replay: We’re Gonna Need To Unpack That

Highly Visible & A Little Misunderstood

Yo! I am taking a much needed break from dropping new episodes, but I will be back with more dope guests in a couple of months. In the meantime, enjoy some of my favorite episodes from the RTWD fault.

Catch yall in a bit!

From Episode 24 - We’re Gonna Need To Unpack That

This week I am joined by my friend Melany Del Carpio. Melany is Peruvian, a taurus, and is just trying to discover more of her truest self. She is also a llama lover and life long learner who wants to believe there is still good in the world.

Melany and I dive into a taboo topic in the Black and Brown community: colorism. She shares about her own exploration of her racial identity, why she believes colorism is just a safe way to say anti-Black, and why she no longer identifies as a person of color. We also explore the importance of knowing ourselves in order to be the best allies we can be. This was an incredibly honest conversation that I hope you all enjoy.

Stay in Touch with our guests:
