    This is a complex topic. Kindred and Jo decided to approach this through their personal experiences as a young Black and Asian American, respectively. They are primarily talking about multiculturalism and race in the American context. (Kindred is in Alabama; Jo is in Southern California). There is more left to say because there is more left to consider, do, and experience regarding this topic as our lives continue to develop. We will return to this topic in a different way in the future. For the time being, we hope this episode opens up more conversations in your lives. Please let us know how those go ~ *The children's book that Kindred mentions in the second half of the episode is "Pierre and Paul: Avalanche!" written by Caroline Adderson and illustrated by Alice Carter. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
