Race, Racism, and Pens: Joakim Eriksson's Unfiltered Thoughts
“America is kind of falling apart and it's very alienating to me as a foreigner because it's one of these situations where I am not really reacting to stuff the same way as people around me.”
Ever thought about how race and racism intersect with everyday life, or even the role of a simple pen in a restaurant? In this episode of 'This Week in Sparkling Water', host M. Joakim Eriksson dives into these complex topics with his usual candid style. He starts by tackling the heavy issues of race and racism, weaving in his experiences as a foreigner in America.
Joakim doesn't shy away from discussing the recent protests in the United States and how they reflect on the broader political climate and human rights record. His unique perspective offers a fresh take on these pressing issues. The conversation then takes a lighter turn as Joakim and his guest explore the surprisingly intricate role of pens in restaurant marketing. Who knew a pen could be so pivotal?
As always, the episode is punctuated with tastings of some intriguing sparkling water options, including Ginger-Orange Sparkling Yerba Mate from Clean Cause, Ginger Glo from Sparkling Glo, and Apple-Ginger from AHA.
