We are back to spill a juicy and a little controversial topic. We know how frustrating and disappointing it is when a person we call a “friend” and says she is “doing the work” causes us harm and rejects our invitation to address the issue to the point where we ask ourselves… Can people of color be friends with white folks who claim to be allies?  In this episode, we'll share our experience with our so-called “ally friend” who harms us (women of color) and how we deal with her and the situation. We want to discuss these topics because we know that we can ALL learn from this and put those lessons into practice.
