It is about the perception of you, it is about your skin tone, because if you and I both go into-eleven, who's getting followed? No, that's like my uniform is like a hoodie and like that's what I'm always wearing into convenience stores, and you don't think about you.
Ever felt the weight of systemic racism and wondered how to truly be an ally? Jay Casale's conversation with Khy Garner on 'The Lighter Side' offers a raw and heartfelt exploration of these themes. Raised to be a gentleman, Khy is exhausted by the ongoing battles against ignorance and prejudice. He's seen allies who turned out to be anything but, and he's tired of repeating himself. So, Jay gives him the platform to share his story and wisdom.
Khy opens up about his personal losses and the broader struggles within the Black Lives Matter movement. He delves into the role of social media in activism, the complexities of race and identity, and the power of the arts in fostering diversity. As a dedicated teacher, Khy's insights are both profound and practical, offering listeners tangible steps towards genuine allyship.
The episode also touches on Khy's experience living with a chronic illness and finding joy in small moments, adding layers to his already compelling narrative. If you're looking to understand the nuances of being an ally and want to hear from someone who lives it every day, this episode is a must-listen. Join Jay and Khy for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is essential.
