This episode IS A MUST!!!! It is truly about as honest as its going to get. The conversation I was craving on The Stranded phase and I am sure you are too was an honest one that I knew would make many uncomfortable. A conversation about racism, white people, colorism, micro-aggression, protesting, and what keeping this movement alive and well actually looks like WHILE talking about the history so many of us aren't aware of before we open our mouth.
In this incredible episode we talk with criminal and family law attorney, Caila Coleman, about the Black Lives Matter movement. This is nothing of an incredible and vulnerable perspective from a black woman who is responsible for upholding the law. I sincerely wanted to hear the thoughts from people of color who were in roles where they were sworn to serve and protect and uphold the law while it feels as if most Americans don't.
In this episode, we discuss how even a woman who is responsible for serving and upholding the law deals with constant stereotyping and racism. We discuss colorism in the black community and how the law is different for darker skinned individuals.
Caila helps us understand micro-aggressions and how there are little limits to where they exist. She stresses to us that it is time to speak up but not to overpower the voices of those that are oppressed.
Caila even discusses with us understanding your prosecutors roles and be careful who you elect into those roles and why it is so important for her to become a judge. From code switching to code words used to explain to black youth how to behave in public, this episode is to purely enlighten and one that EVERYONE involved needs to hear.
