EP 54: White Woke Wrongs & News You Can Use




Feminist Killjoys, PhD show

Summary: TWs: white processing, discussions of terrorism, brief mentions of sexual assault In this week's episode, Raechel & Melody are in the same room (!!!) to talk about being together, process some deep call-out issues around being a bit too heavy on our "woke white" personas, and analyze some of the week's saddest news. It is not an uplifting episode, but it will hopefully give you a critical framework to reflect upon currents events regarding deportation, white supremacy, & terrorism. Raechel brings it hard this week, so listen up. *insert fire emoji here* Featured guest: Polar sparkling water Featured shout-out: Wide Angle Podium (a bike podcast network that is run by a dope-AF person who is a true friend of the podcast) If you like to skip around:: Accountability corner//white-women processing :: 13:30 min. mark News you can use:: 25-ish min. mark Some sources for this week's discussion (please see our newsletter, website, & Twitter for more!):: We discuss “Teaching Our Own Racism” written by Dr. Brookfield.
