Episode 17: Big Talk about Whiteness, with Kate Schatz
We can’t think of a topic more suited to our name than racial inequality and white privilege. We called on Kate Schatz (pronounced ‘shots’) to help us with the discussion. Kate is a New York Times bestselling author and an activist, public speaker, and educator. Danielle and Kristy share their background and experiences in the context of race. Kate provides encouraging and helpful guidance for white people who find themselves wondering “how can I be anti-racist?”.
Be sure to check out Kate’s newest book, Rad American History A-Z. It was just released this March, is geared to middle school-aged children, and tells history through stories.
