I'm a white artist. I'm about to direct a show with a cast of mostly black actors. I'm feeling the need to address it - but what is "it", and how to start?

Further listening: - The marvelous Lormarev Jones on the podcast Artist Soapbox, episode 24 (https://artistsoapbox.org/category/podcast-episode/) - Two really helpful conversations between Hilary Frank and Eula Biss about talking about race as a white person on the podcast The Longest Shortest Time, episodes 116 and 135 (https://longestshortesttime.com/tag/eula-biss) - Check out my collective of badass art-makin' friends.
