Real Talk: Cultural Appropriation and White Supremacy
On the surface cultural appropriation might not seem very harmful, but when you peel back the layers it is clear that cultural appropriation is a function of racism and perpetuates white supremacy.
In this episode I have a real and unfiltered conversation about the intersection between cultural appropriation and white supremacy with Michelle Franzoni-Thorley from @florafamiliar. We share personal experiences and discuss our thoughts about how our bi-racial children can honor their ancestors without appropriating.
