Woke Isn't Enough
Most of us think that we are "good" people who don't hurt or oppress anyone. A good number of us consider ourselves "woke". That means that we are aware of oppression, particularly racism, and we are NOT a part of the problem. In reality, we are all a part of the problem. "Woke Isn't Enough" is a podcast that challenges all of us to recognize how we sustain systems of oppression and what it will really take to finally disrupt them once and for all. Expect lively, challenging and provocative conversation with Fiona Oliphant and Jess Ayden Li.

Episode 2
Mixed-race individuals (folks whose parents or ancestors are of more than one ethnicity and/or race) have a unique experience in processing and claiming their identity as compared to monoracial individuals. In this episode, Fiona and Cassie discuss the struggles that mixed-race people face because they do not fall neatly into our society's socially constructed boxes for race and ethnicity. They discuss how we as mixed-race folks can strive to fully embrace their identity and how monoracial loved ones can support mixed-race people in their identity-processing journey.
