Dec 21, 2021
We’re finally done with 2021… but if 2020-2021 taught us anything, it’s that this period of time we are living through will be examined in the history books. Our grandkids will be asking us what life was like during the global pandemic, where we were during the January 6 insurrection, and what we did to stand up against the racial and social injustices that were made so painfully clear during this time.
So, as we re-cast this first episode of the year with you as a recap, consider what YOU did this year to make change - and what side of history you ended up finding yourself on. Then, think about how you want to show up in 2022!

What to listen for:
- Anger - how white anger is viewed differently than anger expressed by people of color, and where white anger can be expressed without repercussion (hint: it’s pretty much everywhere)
- The power of White women and some reasons why concepts that many believe should be central to all women are not supported by a large portion of this voting bloc
- Conspiracy theories - what makes people vulnerable to them, and what to do about them
- Empathy - how and why White liberals sought legal equality in the Civil Rights Era without believing Black people to be their equals, and what true empathy might look like
