The Elephant In The Room that we will be addressing this season is R A C E.  This week my guests and I, my little sisters, will be discussing Race but in the context of childhood. Specifically our own childhoods and the struggles growing up in middle-class suburban Ontario, Canada. The story goes  further in our discussion surrounding the contrasts of living as teenagers in Nairobi, Kenya.  We delve into our experiences with various microaggressions and how those have affected us as we've aged. This episode hopes to deconstruct the realities of growing up in a world where we were far removed from the typical black experience.  Enjoy as we share our perspectives, hopefully you can learn something new, or even just find solace in our childhood struggles.
