Across the Lines | Racism, Parenting, and Identity: First Encounters | Roots & Rhythm Podcast Episode #12
This week, Vlad and Angie dive deep into the realities of racism as immigrants, as parents, and as people still shaping their identities in America.
Vlad shares his very first encounter with racism in school—an experience that revealed more about the system than the students around him—and how that moment shaped his understanding of support and resilience. Angie reflects on how racism has influenced her perspective as both a parent and a woman of Caribbean heritage.
Together, they explore how early experiences of prejudice ripple through life—affecting parenting, identity, and our hopes for the next generation.
This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and necessary. 🌍💬
