Who actually knows who they are in high school? Short answer, no one... But imagine being a WOC as well! It's hard enough being a teenager, but having to grow up with added racial and gender stereotypes on what you can or can't do as a WOC isn't any easier.

Hey all! Join Zoe and Chloe for a chill and laid-back episode on the idea of "white spirituality". The two talk about the growing appropriation of certain religions like, Bhuddhism, Hinduism, and several Indigenous cultures! They discuss all things related to the ignorance surrounding things like sage burning and incense, two things that have extensive cultural context. This topic hasn't been spoken about a lot, as oftentimes many people (white people) aren't comfortable addressing the idea that their daily "yoga" session is rooted in Asian culture and their "sage burning" that "cleanses their minds" is a part of the Indigenous community's culture. With that being said, yes you can take part in these traditions, but also recognize that they ARE traditions! Stay aware! See y'all in the next one.
