So You Want To Talk About Race

A conversation with author Ijeoma Oluo An awkward conversation with her white mother about “good white people” inspired Ijeoma Oluo to take on the unenviable task of writing one of the most user-friendly books on race of our time: So You Want To Talk About Race.  In plain language, Ijeoma has confronted deeply uncomfortable questions surrounding racial injustice from the school-to-prison pipeline to the Black Lives Matter movement to white feminism and intersectionality.  In this edition of Inflection Point hosted by Lauren Schiller, Ijeoma offers practical, everyday actions that listeners can do today to help dismantle the system of racism.
