In My Shoes Stories from Women of Color

About In My Shoes Stories from Women of Color

In My Shoes is a podcast about women of color and the issues we face but sometimes don't get to talk about. We will give our perspective, allowing you a glimpse into what it's like to deal with racism, infertility, mental illness, parenting, relationships, colorism, politics, hair, health, you name it - in our shoes. Sometimes it just takes a moment to hear a personal story to realize things aren't always the way they seem. When you hear someone's personal story you can see things through their eyes, from their perspective, even if it's just for a moment - but that moment may be all it takes to change the way you think about or view women from other cultural backgrounds and skin tones. Walk a mile in my shoes, and find out things aren't always the way they seem.

   Wait, was that a micro aggression?

   It's a term you hear a lot these days, but what exactly does it mean? Many describe micro aggressions as subtle or unintentional acts of racism? But are they unintentional? And does calling it subtle make it any better or any less hurtful? And when is a micro aggression just an incident of flat out racism? Maureen Greene-James of MGJ Speaks (https://mgjspeaks.com/home) is an inclusion champion with great insight into what micro aggressions are, what they aren't and what to do when you experience it.
