Rumbling With Race

This episode kicks off our journey into the structures of systematic racism in America. Joined by the wonderful Jennifer Rogers (our high school's Dean of Students) Bria and I begin the conversation of why certain structures exist in charter schools and beyond. This will be the stepping stone for many, more targeted episodes in the coming weeks. Thanks for all that you do. We love you, we appreciate you, and we see you!

In this episode, Bria and I welcome our first guest, O'Shane Morris, to help us with our conversation about race in the sports world. O gives us an indepth look into life as a black student-athlete at a predominantly white school. We also dive into conversations related to the NFL, NASCAR, and the potential of an HBCU movement by high school basketball players. This is one you don't want to miss! As always...we love you, we appreciate you, and we see you!

In Epsiode #6, Bria and I discuss the impact that COVID-19 has had on the black community, specifically as it relates to education and health care. We take a look at our current administrations decision making process, and think through the challenges of coming back to school. As always...we love you, we appreciate you, and we see you.

In this episode, Bria and I discuss the murder of Breonna Taylor, and the lack of response or attention her death is receiving in comparison to other black men and women. Additionally, Bria defines black intersectionality, and we discuss the struggles black women go through on a daily basis as they overcome stereotypes from multiple ends. Be sure to tune in and know we love y'all, we appreciate y'all, and we see y'all!

Welcome back to RUMBING WITH RACE!! In this episode Bria and I take a look at the many ways symbolism impacts the black community, and how statues, building names, and other aspects of history are subtle reminders of the oppression experienced by black people on a daily basis. We also speak on the Confederate flag and companies/organizations around the country taking a definitely stance against it. As always...we love you, we appreciate you, and we see you!

This episode is PACKED with information. Current events over the past week have shifted our original focus to ensure we gave each topic the appropriate amount of time. We talk about the unknown history of Juneteenth, another horrific incident of police brutality leading to the death of Rayshard Brooks, the importance of branding on implicit bias, and whether or not there is a more effective way to use your platform for change. Bria and I are excited to share this episode with you and we hope you enjoy. We love you, we appreciate you, and we see you!

In this week's episode of "Rumbling With Race", Bria and I discuss the privilege and implicit bias that led to Amy Cooper's outburst towards Christian Cooper in Central Park, provide insight into how to check your own implicit bias, and give advice on what to do next to improve as an ally and advocate for the Black Community. We love y'all, we appreciate y'all, and we see y'all.

Welcome to the first ever RUMBLING WITH RACE PODCAST, a podcast dedicated to nornamlizing difficult conversations about race, specifically between two educators from opposite ends of the spectrum of privilege. In our pilot episode, Bria and George discuss the importance of embracing discomfort when discussing race, the racial dynamics around the murder of George Floyd, and why voices of privilege are more important now than ever. These conversations are not perfect, and they are not meant to be.
