Ep. 146: Community, the Antidote to Whiteness, Part 1: Defining Community
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What even is community—and how have whiteness and capitalism distorted our understanding of it? In this first episode of our new series, we explore how community has been replaced by performance, productivity, and transactions—and what it means to reclaim it as our birthright. From Trevor Noah’s critique of “buying” connection to our own stories of belonging and rupture, we’re asking the big question: You can’t build what you haven’t defined. So how do we begin?
