Description

On this episode from @ewbpod, Mahlon (@SuperMahrio) and Susan (@MsSkyers - 🐦) have a conversation about getting hip to the ‘game’ of whiteness after having a childhood free of its direct existence/impact. We talk about the ‘appearance’ of happiness being more important than it actually being felt; experiences that began to reveal notions of Britishness, and; what to take from being told by the principal that your career progression within the school wasn’t considered or planned for. The conversation also reflects on having a view of self without a ‘Black’ prefix to it and understanding how pervasive anti-Black racism is, based on the responses received from calling it out in the first place.
