How Meghan Markle & Prince Harry exposed racism amongst international moms in Paris
<p>By now, we’ve all seen the Oprah interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in which they discussed the treatment that they received from the royal family. The explosive interview sparked huge debates across social media, including in France. In fact, the debate surrounding the interview, and specifically the disbelief by some of Meghan’s concerns of possible racism, resulted in a leading Paris-based Facebook group of thousands of English Speaking Moms to remove members—censoring the concerns of Black and Brown moms. The group’s fallout exposed how difficult parenting in an international context can be, especially when “people of color” are frequently divided amongst themselves due to the differences in the cultural experiences that they have had. In this episode, I interview two of the group’s members Joelle, and Abril.</p>

To Be a Black American in Paris Apres Josephine Baker
<p>In this episode, I interview Lyneka Little, a former Parisian Expat/Immigrant, and creator of the Apres Josephine platform for Blacks and People of Color who moved to France to have a space to discuss their experiences. We discussed the motivation behind the creation of Apres Josephine, aptly named in reference to the iconic Josephine Baker, the world’s first Black superstar, who sought “refuge” from America in Paris in the 1930s.</p> <p>In discussing her creation, Lyneka and I dove deep into the surreal experience of “American Privilege” that Black Americans experience abroad, and how it feels crazy to be treated better than our fellow African brothers and sisters, simply because we are American. If you ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a Black American expat in Paris, this episode is for YOU!</p>
