Having that Race Conversation at Holiday Dinner

It’s the final episode of the season and the year! Lenya and Alex have some holiday stories to tell, and they are good ones!

 

Lenya went to her white neighbor’s house for Thanksgiving dinner where the topic of race and police violence came up. Lenya spoke out about policing injustice, and was met with, well, the reaction you probably expect but also can not believe. What’s great though is that this story has a very happy ending.

 

Less happy are two more stories of police interacting with Lenya and Alex at points in their lives, and how the police took things too far, and how their skin color affected how each of them acted and felt.

 

Be sure to stay subscribed for when we return we'll check in on New Year's resolutions, and make some new ones for the coming year. Also, email us if you want to be on the show, or know someone who has a story to tell about race and womanhood.
